we are going to be ranking the programming languages on three main
factors.
·
Number one, the time it takes for you
learn, even if you're a complete beginner, and make real-world projects.
·
Number two, the job market. What is
the demand and the overall salary that you can make with this programming
language in 2020?
·
Number three, what is your overall
productivity going to be with this programming language?
the time it takes for you learn
This really matters when it comes to your own personal development
with coding. How fast can you build
real-world projects?
And when you're working at startups and smaller companies, they
need people to be able to build real applications in a much shorter amount of
time.
Now, before we get into the meat and potatoes we need to talk
about different languages, there are multiple programming languages
where you can make over $100,000 year.
1.
Number 5 is Java.
It's a pretty amazing
programming language that a lot of people know. This is a object-oriented
programming language, and this is used in lots of Android applications. That's
one of the primary reasons why people use Java as of even today. Lots of big
companies are still using Java. There are lots of trading applications made
with it as well. It's currently declining a little bit in popularity because of
programming languages like Kotlin,
which you can now use to create Android applications in. This is why, if you
look at the Google Trends, you will see in the
last five years Java has a little decline. Outside of that, there's still
lots of jobs that are offered for Java, and the salary for an average Java
developer in the United States is $103,000 a year according to indeed.com.
2. Number 4. Swift.
Swift
is a iOS programming language that is used for Apple. If you ever dreamed of
making a app that shows up in the App Store, ranks highly, or you want to be
able to make, you know, the dream of every developer ever, make monthly
recurring income or passive income from a app that they created with passion,
love, and heart, and put it out in the app store, and people in the Apple world
can download it and use it, that is why you would learn Swift. Now, you can
freelance with it, or you can get a full-time job. It's a very popular
language. It's not getting more popular, but the great thing, it's not also
going down. It has been stable over the last five years if you look across on
Google Trends. That shows me that it's a very stable programming language, not
going anywhere, and is great to invest your time in and to learn it. I would
say it's really beginner friendly as well. There are tons of tutorials on YouTube
that support the learning of it, but not only that, it's a lot of fun. Java is
a pain in the ass to learn if you are a complete beginner, but I think Swift is
a little bit easier to learn just because you can make stuff and put it on your
iOS device, and it's a lot of fun. Awesome programming language. Average
salary of a developer in the United States is $115,000 a year, according to
indeed.com.
3.
Number 3. SQL.
I call it Sequel. Both ways are completely
fine of calling it. This programming language, some people will argue it's not
actually a programming language. It ultimately doesn't matter. This is called
structured query language. That's what SQL stands for. And why I recommend
learning this, and why I think it's so important for everybody to actually know
some of this, is almost no matter what programming language you're gonna work
with, if you ever dream of creating applications and web applications, you're
gonna have to deal with data. When you have to deal with data, you're pretty
much not gonna get away if you don't understand SQL, okay? So if you wanna make
an application that can store data and save information? For example, if you go
on Instagram, right? When you Like somebody's comment, or you Like somebody's
post, that Like is stored somewhere. Or when you make a post on Instagram or
Facebook, that post is stored somewhere. When you log back in, that post is
still there. Guess what is saving your post? It's SQL; it's SQL being able to
talk to databases, all right? So that's why I think this programming language,
this language, query language, is very, very important to learn. I put it at
number three, but I think this is very, very vital, and almost any type of
development you wanna do, especially any web development you wanna do, whether
you wanna become a backend developer or a full-stack developer, you kinda have
to know SQL. It will serve you really, really well. And the average salary of a
SQL developer is $89,000 a year in the United States, according to indeed.com.
4.
Number 2, JavaScript.
this
one is a controversial one. Everybody goes crazy. "Why did you pick JavaScript number two? "Why isn't it number one ?
Everybody's gonna go crazy in the comments. JavaScript, according to the PYPL index and the Google Trends, JavaScript at number two in popularity compared to the number one language, which I will be talking about after this, but let's get into what can you do with JavaScript? JavaScript is a very incredible programming language. If you have dreams and aspirations to do anything related to web development, creating web applications, you're probably gonna need to learn JavaScript. Whether you wanna do full-stack or front-end development or backend development, it would help you to know JavaScript to a good extent. JavaScript is a very popular language. If you even look on GitHub, there's always a new framework coming out for it. And there are tons of amazing frameworks and libraries always being produced for JavaScript, right? Like, for example, you got React, people talk about Vue.js, there's all kinds of craziness that goes around JavaScript. Even if you forget all the trendy stuff that's happening around, it's just a great programming language. Every web browser supports it and runs JavaScript, and I think it's one of the must-know tools that you need in your arsenal when it comes to programming and web development especially. The average salary of a JavaScript developer, according to indeed.com, in the United States is $113,000 a year. Real quick for those of you JavaScript nerds. I wanna give you a resource that will help you on your journey to becoming a JavaScript developer. I scour the Internet for a lot of stuff, you know, whether it's Udemy or Udacity or Coursera, or just YouTube in general, or some of my own courses, one thing I found that is actually really useful is on Skillshare, I found this course that's on JavaScript, and this course is very, very helpful. This, I think will help you. I would recommend for you to check this course out. 08:33 It looks pretty good. If you use the link that I have below in the description for Skillshare, you'll get actually two months of premium for free, so I would highly recommend go check it out. Skillshare, they have really amazing tutorials. This tutorial, to me, specifically, by Chris looks useful. Give it a try. With that said, let's jump right back into the article .
5.
And number 1. Python
Python is the number one
programming language, and now, it's not just according to me anymore, guys.
That's a beautiful thing. According to Google Trends in the last five years,
it's now officially the number one most popular language, and also according to
the PYPL index, it is the number one most popular programming language. What's
amazing about Python, it's a general purpose programming language that you can
use for many different things, but it's also very powerful. Before I get into
the use cases of it, let me just tell you what types of companies use Python.
So Google is built off of Python. YouTube is built off of Python. Dropbox,
Quora, Hipmunk, Reddit, Instagram, and the list goes on. This is just to give
you a taste of what types of things you can build with Python. So if you want
to do web development, you could do it with Python. There are many different
frameworks and libraries in Python that support and allow you to do lots of
data science applications. And the real reason why Python has become so goddamn
popular is because of data science. Data science has grown so much over the
last few years, right? Like, look at the self-driving cars, the self-checkout
at Walmart that's being implemented, Google self-driving cars, Tesla
self-driving cars, and lots of the automation and machine learning algorithms
that are being done as of today, a lot of them are being done in Python, and
that has skyrocketed its growth. Why I really put it at number one is because
it's very beginner friendly. Out of all of the last four languages that I've
talked about this is probably the easiest to pick up. But the amazing thing is,
you can build real-world projects with Python and do that very, very fast. You
can do web development really well with Python with its frameworks, like Django
or Flask those are unbelievable, and you can go on and do data science with it
as well. I do think the language that you pick and choose and stick with
matters. It's just like where you live matters and defines your culture and
your accent, and everything around you, and kind of the things that you grow up
to do. So I think the language that you start off with first defines a lot of
things you're gonna do, right? For example, if you start with Swift and learn a
lot of Swift, you're probably gonna become, or much more likely to be
influenced by, iOS applications 'cause you're spending a lot of time building
them and learning them, and you'll very likely end up doing something in the
iOS section. If you learn Java, you're gonna spend a lot of time around Android
applications. So it's really important what your goal is. If your goal is to
make Android apps, go with Java. If your goal is to make iOS apps, go with
Swift. If your goal is to just do web development and that's kind of it, go
with JavaScript and stick with node.js and all of those frameworks. If your
goal is to just do stuff with databases and become a data analyst and
specialize in that section, go with SQL. But if your goal is to do web
development, or you wanna do machine learning or data science, or any of those
things, then you definitely wanna stick with Python. It's easy, gives you tons
of flexibility, and the other amazing reason is the average salary for a
developer in the United States, according to indeed.com, is $118,000 a year. So
there you have it, all five programming languages that are incredible for you
to learn in 2020 to get a job without even needing a college degree, as long as
you have the skill set, the determination,
