Top 12 Programming Languages for Beginners in 2015

Programming technologies are getting more competitive day by day when developers core focus on cross-platform app developments basically for Mobile(first) then Web and Desktop application development. Right from the standpoint almost 50% of apps are published each day for Mobile devices than other platforms like Web and Desktop. This is because the higher scale of mobile users comparing to desktop users from rest of the world and this is the reason in stock markets the higher demand of mobile app developers since mobile apps being sold and downloaded in record time ever.

12 Most Important Programming Languages in 2015

C Language

C Language is the first programming language(in the history) developed by Dennis Richthie in 1972, at Bell labs. This programming language has given forth to many different languages such as C++, Java, C#, JavaScript, and Pearl. These all expose the manners and legacy of C Language which is first lectured in universities as it better initializes other sectors in programming technologies.

There are many famous websites online who teach students C Language for free

Websites to Learn C Language: Udemy, Learn-C, Cprogramming, LearnConline, CprogrammingExpert, Introduction to Programming[App for iOS]

C++

C Language was performing well but it lacks object orientation so you need such powerful code like C++ the language being developed in 1983 which is often considered object orientation version of C language. C++ is widely used most imperative language of the world with amazing applications developed and browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Windows music player Winamp and Adobe softwares are developed by C++ language.

C++ is also used to developed smartphone games, and apps. In the job market C++ developers have high demand and the vacancies are growing increasingly.

Java

Java combines both C and C++ languages which is more powerful language to develop cross-platform applications in programming world. The language is developed by James Gosling, in 1990 at Sun Microsystems. Java is the first purely object oriented programming language which covers a theme "Write Once Run Anywhere". By the way you can compile Java Source Code once and then on any machine where JVM (Java Virtual Machine is installed)

C#

C# is the Microsoft's family of programming language which was developed in 2000 as to be the part of first ever released Microsoft's legacy .Net framework. In it's operation C# is very close to Java although it has been said C# combines the robustness of C++ with the advanced features of Java.

With C# language you can develop almost all types of software applications that can be used on multi-platforms.

PHP

According to my sight I see PHP is the most powerful server side client based language that can do more with little writing. PHP is widely used to develop CMS (Content Management Systems) softwares i.e. WordPress, Joomla, Drupal etc., in addition with developing dynamic and static websites. As PHP is an Open source language meaning that there are thousands of already built modules that can be modified to achieve the desired functions.

Objective C

Brad Cox and Tom Love at Apple have developed Objective C in 1983 with the purpose of developing Objective C is to address the deficiencies of C language. This language was originally developed to create apps for iPhone and iPad. As a result a Objective C programmers have higher evaluation at Apple Inc. to have a prestigious job in application development suites.

Websites to Learn Object C Language: Udemy, Lynda.com, Mac Developer Library, Cocoa Dev Central, Mobile Tuts+.

JavaScript

JavaScript is a self server hosted programming code which can perform more complex functions by simple written languages. It's an ideal script which can easily be mastered. A client side programming code which runs on self server inside a client browser and process commands on client computer rather than server which results in decreased load on server and increased application's execution speed.

PERL

Perl is a higher level programming language which can be used in general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages. The language in this family cover Perl 5 and Perl 6. Though Perls is not official acronym as these four words stand for "Practical Extraction and Reporting Language" was originally developed by Larry Wall in 1986 as a general purpose of Unix scripting language to make report processing easier.

The Perl languages borrow features from other programming languages including C, shell scripting (sh), AWK, and sed

Scala

Scala is one of the oldest programming languages which was designed by Martin Odersky stable release: 2.11.5 / January 14, 2015. Scala is an object-functional programming language for general software applications. Scala provides support for functional programming with a very strong static type system.

Scala source code is intended to be compiled to Java bytecode, so that the resulting executable code runs on a Java virtual machine

Python

Guide Van Rossum has developed Python in 1991 which is now considered another higher level programming language as well as the easiest language ever to learn, due to its minimalism, readability and straight forward syntax. I have gathered better knowledge about Python in past months while working with Google's open source project can be used on Google cloud hosting "Google App Engine"
and develop small or big websites. Google have invested about 10 years with this language and still initializes more projects on this script.

SQL

SQL in abbreviation Structured Query Language is exactly a database query language which provides standardized way of interacting with the underlying database of an application. SQL is really a simple language to learn and is probably close to English language while syntax.

Websites to Learn SQL Language: Lynda.com, SQLCourse.com, TutorialsPoint.com, SQLZoo.net.

Ruby

Python and Ruby are almost very close, simple and readable programming language mainly focused on developing web-based applications. Ruby was designed by Yukihiro Matsumoto in 1995 which is a complete web development framework on which numerous renowned websites including Github, Scribd, Yammer, Shopify, and Groupon have been developed.
