In recent years our obsession with technology has grown at an increasing rate, smartphones and all kinds of smart devices have surrounded us. Nowadays a smartphone can live to transcribe audio from a playing video, and AI via smartphones can identify the object in instant via camera, but how does such a small device can do so much? What makes it possible for such a small machine to do it all? 

All these wonderful applications are powered by Cloud Computing, AI and Machine learning, which is in turn driven by people across the globe writing codes in different languages, as the growth of IT Industry in India is expanding day by day, jobs are growing and the need for coders with relevant tech knowledge is also touching the sky. 

Here are 7 types of the programming language of computer which every fresher must know to grab the best opportunities in the ever-growing IT industry jobs in India.

1. Python

Python is one of the simplest languages available to learn, still, one of the most powerful one, many top websites like YouTube & Quora are built over python. It is accepted among the community as the type of programming language which should be learned first by any aspiring programmer. Python is a very easy-to-use programming language for computers that are being used for developing websites that need to continuously evolve and update. In India, many start-ups are using Python as their language of choice, So learning python gives you the ability to grab the large opportunity of working with growing start-ups.

2. Java

Do you know android? It is built on java. Since long Java is the most popular choice of large organizations as Java is considered a very stable platform.  

Today android is the most popular mobile platform so organizations want to have their own mobile application and presence in Play Store, this opens up a non-diminishing huge opportunity for students who know Java. 

3. JavaScript

JavaScript isn’t another traditional type of programming language of the computer, it’s more of a website front-end language i.e. which is used to develop what is visible to the customer. Most of the cool real-time website functionalities are based on JavaScript.

Although it is similar in name to Java, it's a totally different language, currently, many small packages like NodeJS - based on javascript are used for development.

It’s very easy to learn and very fast to deploy and also has a huge demand in the market, every coder must know the basics of javascript. 

4. C/C++

This is the parent of all the types of programming languages of computers and till that many super stable applications in need of very high-speed calculations use C++ for their systems, Every techie must be well aware of C++ as it is a language used for competitions and competitive programming.

5. R

This which enables all the data analytics and Machine Learning I talked about in the introduction, it is a modern language with an ever-growing user base and community online. IF you wish to join the “Data & Analytics” team of a large organization should definitely learn R programming language. Data Analysis plays a crucial part in the company. Data analyst or data scientist is one of the top best 7 paying jobs in India.

6. Swift

Swift is the type that is used to develop iOS applications that are marketed by apple. iOS-based devices like Apple iPhone have captured a significant market share, also recently Apple open sourced the language making it a favorite to learn among the online programming communities.  Since, there are many iPhone, iPad, and Macs in the market, iOS developers are needed throughout the industry.

7. PHP

PHP used to be the most popular backend programming language among developers. Currently is facing tough competition from JavaScript and Python, but as there are many well-established organizations that are already having a lot of their infrastructure working with PHP the market still needs a large number of PHP developers. 

This is not an extensive list of all the types of programming languages of computer as there are a lot more, but these are some of the most prominent languages which are used in the industry currently and will be really helpful for you in the long run.
