Practice and Practice to become a good Java programmer
Java is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language that was designed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems in 1991. The compilation of the Java applications results in the bytecode that can be run on any platform using the Java Virtual Machine. Because of this, Java is also known as a WORA (write once, run anywhere) language.
In modern times, Java is one of the most popular programming languages as it can be used to design customized applications that are light and fast and serve a variety of purposes. According to the TIOBE Index for April 2019, Java is the number one programming language. Java is very versatile as it is used for programming applications on the web, mobile, desktop, etc. using different platforms. Also, Java has many features such as dynamic coding, multiple security features, platform-independent characteristics, network-centric designing, etc. that make it quite versatile.
Practice and Practice to become a good C++ programmer
C++ is known to be a very powerful language. C++ allows you to have a lot of control as to how you use computer resources, so in the right hands its speed and ability to cheaply use resources should be able to surpass other languages. Thanks to C++'s performance, it is often used to develop game engines, games, and desktop apps. Many AAA title video games are built with C++.
C++ plays quite an integral role in modern times as many contemporary systems such as operating systems, web browsers, databases, etc. have C++ code in at least some part of their codebase. Moreover, C++ is quite useful in performance critical areas because of its speed.
Practice and Practice to become a good Python programmer
In the realm of server side software languages, Python is considered easy to read, write and learn. Plus, it’s extremely scalable. The world’s largest companies run on it, and it’s also great for quick and simple prototypes.
Just to name a few of its most common uses, Python is used in Data Mining, Data Science, AI, Machine Learning, Web Development, Web Frameworks, Embedded Systems, Graphic Design applications, Gaming, Network development, Product development, Rapid Application Development, Testing, Automation Scripting, the list goes on.
Show your creativity and uniqueness
HTML and CSS are the two most fundamental programming languages used in web development. Without them, we would not have websites.CSS is one of the cornerstones of the web. If HTML is the bones of a website, CSS is what makes the site look better than a skeleton. Without CSS, web pages would be dull and boring.
Knowing how to code in HTML and CSS will give you a clear insight into how the internet works. You’ll be able to better understand how the websites you use every day are built. The syntax and concepts of CSS make sense to even the not-so-tech-savvy. Plus, we see CSS every day on the websites we know and love, which makes it easier to understand the need for CSS and how and why CSS is used. Have you ever wondered how websites can show colored text, or how a website can include a YouTube video? If you know how to code in HTML and CSS, you will not have to wonder.
Use this to build great projects
Being a developer it is overwhelming to learn multiple languages to build different kinds of applications. Most of the time we need to learn more than one language just to build a single application or to build various applications. For the frontend part, you learn a different language and for the backend one a different language. For mobile, you learn a different one, for game development you learn a different one. Every time learning a new language becomes quite confusing or sometimes frustrating for developers… Surely we all want to stick to one language that can perform pretty much any task.
But why this language is gaining so much popularity and hype? What benefits does it offer to the developers? What are some strong reasons to choose this language to learn?
