FABRICATE YOUR WORLD –A PERSPECTIVE ON
PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES
Today, the world is getting competitive enough even to
make a virtuoso
to become a dilettante. The famous saying "A jack of all trades is a master of
none” is of no importance. Generalism has become a key to soul survival.
Today’s trend has made the world understand that "A jack of all trades, help in
sustaining the world”. We chose our field of battle and we’re fabricating
ourselves to enter the war. Unless we know the twists and turns we’ll never be
able to stand our ground.
Knowing a handful of programming languages is seen by many as a harbor in a job
market storm, solid skills that will be marketable as long as the languages
are.
KNOW WHERE YOU STAND!!!!!!!!
Knowing where we’re and how to proceed will take us a long way in
triumphing our combat. Every combatant must choose his
domain and pave way for his adroitness. However,
picking the language that is right for you also has as much to do with what
kind of development you want to do and who you might want to work for as it
does with how much money you want to earn. Yet,
there is beauty in numbers. While there may be developers who have had riches
heaped on them by knowing the right programming language at the right time in
the right place, most longtime coders will tell you that periodically learning
a new language is an essential part of being a good and successful developer.
"One of my mentors once told me that a
programming language is just a programming language. It doesn’t matter if you’re
a good programmer, it’s the syntax that matters," Tim Huckaby, CEO of San
Diego-based software engineering company CEO Interknowlogy.com. However,
Huckaby said that while his company is "swimming" in work, he’s
having a nearly impossible time finding recruits, even on the entry level, that
know specific programming languages. ”Were hiring like crazy, but were not
having an easy time. Were just looking for attitude and aptitude, kids right
out of school that know .Net, or even Java, because with that we can train them
on .Net," said Huckaby.Don’t get fixated on one or two languages.It
started in 1969,where FORTRAN, COBOL and S/360 Assembler were the big tickets.
Today, Java, C and Visual Basic are. In 10 years time, some new set of
languages will be the in thing.….
TIOBE INDEX
Debate over the most popular programming language can become an emotional, almost religious battle. It ranks the most popular programming language on a monthly basis based on a number of different criteria and also check out http://hdlns.com for current updates on the big talks in IT. The TIOBE Programming Community Index for June 2010 made a release for ranking the programming languages that will help in keeping yourself employed are as follows with a description on the scenario as a reference to get you updated…….
1. Java
An object-oriented ,a
open source and a platform independent
that has programming language with vast implementations in various fields such
as Sun SPOT,JPC,Blu-ray BD-J,NASA World Wind, Android OS and so on.
2. C/C++
A standardized, general-purpose programming language,
its one of the most pervasive languages. "Learning C is crucial. Once you
learn C, making the jump to Java or C# is fairly easy, because a lot of the
syntax is common. Also, a lot of C syntax is used in scripting languages,"
said Duquaine.
3. Python
An interpreted, dynamically object-oriented,
open-source programming language that utilizes automatic memory
management.Python is used extensively by Google as well as in academia because
of its syntactic simplicity.
4. PHP
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.
5. C#
A general-purpose, compiled, object-oriented
programming language developed by Microsoft as part of its .NET initiative, it
evolved from C and C++. Its an essential part of the .Net framework. Learning
C#, is just Java with a different name plate.
6. Delphi
Delphi language, a set of object-oriented extensions to standard Pascal, is the language of Delphi. Delphi Pascal is a high-level, compiled, strongly typed language that supports structured and object-oriented design. Its benefits include easy-to-read code, quick compilation, and the use of multiple unit files for modular programming.
7. Visual
basic
Visual basic is derived from the BASIC, a Microsoft window
programming language, that creates an IDE,
that allows the programmer to create run
and design forms.
8. JavaScript
JavaScript is a an object-oriented, scripting
programming language that runs in the Web browser on the client side. It can be
embedded into HTML, its used in millions of Web pages to validate forms, create
cookies, detect browsers and improve the design.
9. Perl
Perl is an open-source, cross-platform, server-side
interpretive programming language used extensively to process text through CGI
programs. Perls power in processing of piles of text has made it very popular
and widely used to write Web server programs for a range of tasks.
10. Ruby and Ruby on Rails
Ruby, a dynamic, object-oriented, open-source
language; Ruby on Rails is an open-source Web application framework written in
Ruby that with the MVC.
