Although there are over 2,000 computer languages, relatively few are actually widely used. Among thousands, the following 10 programming languages stand out for their job marketability. The languages are given in decreasing order beginning with the most used (according to the nationwide queries on Dice.com, a job site for technology professionals).
I. ______ is an object-oriented programming language developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems in 1990s. It is hailed by many developers as a “beautiful” language, it is central to the non-.Net programming experience. (Job availabilities: 14,408)
II. ______ is a standardized, general-purpose language, one of the most pervasive languages and the basis for several others (such as C++). Once you learn it, making the jump to Java or C# is fairly easy, because a lot of the syntax is common. (Job availabilities: 6,164)
III. ______ is a general-purpose, compiled, object-oriented language developed by Microsoft as part of its .NET initiative, it evolved from C and C++. It’s an essential part of the .Net framework. Learning this language, which is just Java with a different name plate, is critical if you heavily use Microsoft. (Job availabilities: 5,111)
IV. ______ is an open-source, cross-platform, server-side interpretive language used extensively to process text through CGI (common gateway interface) programs. Its power in processing piles of text has made it very popular and widely used to write Web server programs for a range of tasks. (Job availabilities: 4,810)
V. ______, is an object-oriented, scripting language that runs in the Web browser on the client side. It’s smaller, easier to code and doesn’t have to be compiled. Embedded into HTML, it’s used in millions of Web pages to validate forms, create cookies, detect browsers and improve the design. Not to be confused with Java. (Job availabilities: 4,406)
VI. ______ is an object-oriented language implemented on Microsoft’s. Net framework. Most argue that it is currently more popular than ever and one of the only “must-learns”. (Job availabilities: 2,090)
VII. ______ is an open-source, interpretive, server-side, cross-platform, HTML scripting language, especially well-suited for Web development as it can be embedded into HTML pages. High-speed scripting with caching, augmented with compiled code plug-ins (such as can be done with Perl) is where the future is, as building Web apps from scratch using C or COBOL is going the way of the dinosaurs. (Job availabilities: 1,152)
VIII. ______ uses XHTML or HTML, JavaScript and XML to create interactive Web applications. The demand for the knowledgeable pros is huge because it’s so hard to learn. However, Microsoft is going to release a tool named Atlas that will make this language much easier to implement (Job availabilities: 1,106)
IX. ______ is an interpreted, dynamically object-oriented, open-source language that utilizes automatic memory management. Designed to be a highly readable, minimalist language, many say it has a sense of humor (spam and eggs, rather than foo and bar). It is extensively used by Google because of its syntactic simplicity. (Job availabilities: 811)
X. ______ is a dynamic, object-oriented, open-source language, originated in Japan during the mid-1990s. Web application framework Rails is written in it. With a focus on simplicity, productivity, its usage has spread quickly. Many find it easy to learn. (Job availabilities: 210)
