Personal site - 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.

"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.
