Artificial intelligence, virtual reality and augmented reality are terms we come through several times in a year, but what works behind them is what only a handful of guys understand.
The wheel behind every technological advancement is a programming language. Over time, languages have moved from being very hard to understand to easy to grab languages.
With such a switch, the number of programmers is increasing though not at a great rate in underdeveloped countries.
Whether you are a newbie or a champ in a certain language, I am going to list for you the most important languages to learn in 2022. Don't mind about the order because every language I am listing is worthy learning if you should.
1. Java
From mobile apps, web applications to desktop apps and games, java is a concrete language to learn in 2022.
Java code can be run on any system making it a great and secure language for programming. It's one of the recommended languages for Android app development apart from Kotlin.
Many people have predicted that kotlin will override java in the coming years, but java remains a major language learnt by computer science students. Java has also come a long way meaning it has very many libraries and back up material in comparison to kotlin.
Out of Android development, you will use java for desktop and iOS app development. This solves the need to rewrite code for the same app running on iOS.
2. JavaScript
The web is growing faster and will continue to grow. Better interaction with the end user is needed and on top of that list is JavaScript.
The language behind popups, web animations, online games and web applications should be in your head if you need to build websites.
Remember that every website is using JavaScript and Google bots ability to read JavaScript code is increasing meaning, more need for javascript based web applications.
This language is also the backbone of web hackers and online fraudstars. Don't think that JavaScript only controls your screen. Through JavaScript libraries like jQuery, React and many more JavaScript can handle back end programming and provide very interesting web functions.
JavaScript is also stretching and extending to mobile application coding and beyond. This is a great language to learn.
3. Swift
The iOS recommended language. Through Swift, you have the confidence of building apps without worrying about any abrupt changes.
The introduction of Swift came so fast on the iOS community and trust me it has gained great popularity and programming acclaim.
This is the same move that Android is trying to make by introducing kotlin with a very easy syntax.
4. C#
C sharp or C hash is the main language for those who want to build desktop apps mainly for Microsoft Windows.
Desktop apps haven't gained so much momentum because of the strategic expansion of the mobile industry.
That doesn't mean you shouldn't learn desktop programming. C# is very simple for those who have java knowledge because of the similar syntax.
Learning it shouldn't be left out mainly for desktop lovers keeping in mind that C# is an extension of C meaning it works near the hardware.
5. PHP
The server side Singleton. JavaScript, python and many other languages have extended to server side programming, but PHP's specialization in server side programming makes it invaluable.
The language easily works with html and offers better dynamic programming. Companies that process so much data in the background always use PHP.
You'll be surprised to know that PHP is what you really need to create very interactive server side programmes.
In addition, many web hosting agencies support PHP coding. PHP is also the best mate to other languages like java to provide better back end applications.
6. SQL
It isn't considered a programming language by many because most people only understand the basic actions of querying a database.
SQL is a concrete programming language with thorough logic. Everyone is using a database to make data storage and retrieval very simple.
That's why almost all programming language have an API(Application Programming Interface) to work with SQL.
Being able to work perfectly with SQL can add to your ability to get a good job or make interesting and user oriented apps and websites.
7. Python
Let me not forget python. Considered a language for kids below twelve because of its simple syntax.
Anyone can learn python. Python is great for making intelligent systems, and help in website programming.
Some people learn python for fun. Python isn't a standalone language. Most times you have to use it to help another language achieve better interaction.
This is why all learners are advised to not learn python by printing on the console, but by solving real problems.
8. C
C is the hardware language since the 20th century. C is the language used to control machines, build operating systems, kernels and many more hardware communicating systems.
Heavy printers, aeroplanes, cars, robots and many more interesting stuff.
The bad thing is that C is a language from the past so it has a heavy syntax and steep learning curve.
This language is also behind desktop applications and printers to add better fluency.
Great to go.
There are other languages like Go, Ruby, perl, objective c, c++ etc, but I covered the most important languages in this article.
Do you have any language you consider better or liable. Let us know in the comments. You can also comment any questions and I will be there.
Thanks for reading.
