Common Web Development Languages You Should Need

Javascript: JavaScript is one of the most popular and widely used web development languages. JavaScript should not be confused with Java. Javascript is used for controlling the browser, allowing client-side communication, document editing, as well as asynchronous communication.

Created by Netscape, JavaScript borrows a lot from a programming language known as C. Game developers also use JavaScript for their work. As you can see, JavaScript is a versatile web development language that can be used in many situations.

C++: C++ is an old school or legacy programming language used in many applications. It is a highly technical, object-oriented language, which is used a lot in back-end development of programs, including web development. Since C++ has a rather extensive library, it will be around for a long time to come, guaranteeing work for programmers of this language.

C#: Pronounced “see sharp.” C# is one of the most important languages to learn today. This is because it is the backbone of a large variety of Microsoft related applications. In fact, C# was introduced by Microsoft, back in 2000 and has remained as one of the most important .NET programming languages to date. If you already know C++, then you will be able to learn C# quicker, since it borrows a lot from C++.

Java: Java goes back to the 1990s and it is used in virtually anything that has a computer in it. It is easily the most widely used programming language because of its amazing versatility. For all these reasons and more, learning Java ensures you job security for a long time to come, since every tech company needs Java programmers.

PHP: PHP is one of those languages developed specifically for web development applications. It is used as an embedded scripting language within HTML to create dynamic web pages. Basically, PHP is everywhere, where webpages are created. What makes PHP attractive for many companies is that it is open sourced, which means almost everyone has access to it. PHP can also be used by, both, front end as well as back end developers.

SQL: SQL (structured query language) is the go-to language to deal with servers. Although technically not a web development language, it is highly useful to be comfortable with SQL, when job hunting. This is because just about every tech company, large or small, need people with SQL knowledge. Think of it as a nice addition to your toolbox.

Other Subjects You Will Probably Study

Apart from studying web development languages, there will be other computer science related subjects to learn. These include, but not limited to introduction to cloud solutions, Linux, cybersecurity basics, database, fundamentals of computer applications, etc. In some instances, you will be able to choose between different subjects to learn.
