Solid statics and analytics!
Now, I have a question. Why system engineer need Java Script?
techs stacks and programming languages are different for every project and type of projects
what about c☠
Is C INCLUDE IN C++?
Excellent video! With a view to changing companies every 3 years, is it preferable to focus on java and these frameworks, or python and these frameworks? (excluding mobile applications, embedded, AI and ML). And why are Python developers paid more than Java developers? If python is number 1, there must be more python developers available theoretically…
Javascript is the biggest curse cast upon humanity, and the fact that its most widely used is a crime.
Started to learn programming back in 2013 when I was in middle school, I was taught HTML for website development like most people in my age and area were learning at the time. I feel it was a pretty good start to a young persons development journey and I felt I was getting a good grasp on programming.
I had went to high-school and in my second year we were learning python, so considering school I went from HTML to Python. I distinctively remember hating programming after switching from HTML to Python. To my younger self it felt like I went from knowing and understanding everything programming threw at me to not understanding everything and feeling like I was learning something completely new. To then find out that HTML isn't even a programming language… it's a markup language.
I tried to learn Java on my own and I was getting the hand of it, but then in my fourth level of high school I was taught C#. C# was a language that really made me understand coding, I had to make projects for the class which were like demo computer programs, we learned how to link C# into databases and this was all taught within a year.
At this point of my life I'm not sure if it was because I had a good teacher in my later years or if C# was really that much easier to understand compared to Python, it could've been a mixture of both. Either way after my high school years I never really done much coding, just personal game projects that I would code in Unity, RPG Maker 2003/VX and Pokemon Hack Editor/Creator, those were a mix of Java and C# mostly with some inclusions of other languages.
I took a huge hiatus from all coding for about two years because I had to halt my institutional education to work for money, it was tight at home. But I came back to programming and it was literally all a blur, the C#, the Java, the JavaScript. Literally everything looked like Japanese to me after a while. I had to pick up Block-Coding because in my new job I had to teach block coding to younger students (Scratch.mit.edu). I'm not sure what the base language for Scratch is but it really did put me right back on my feet. I practiced and taught Scratch block-coding for about 2 months and I completely understood all the programming and coding I had forgotten over the years… but TENFOLD. Programming has never been this clear to me before, things I never figured out in my old game projects and computer programs I've revisited and have fixed and figured out everything that was wrong including errors that back in High School would've took me 3 weeks to figure out.
I'm writing this comment to say that for a brand new learner or for a young learner, someone who hasn't blinked an eye at programming or coding. I highly recommend taking some sort of block-coding course for 1 month first. It sounds long, but it's more than worth it, it's the baby steps to programming but it really did help me as a grown adult. If I could re-learn programming as a child I'd definitely do it in this order:
Block Coding (No more than 2 months!!! Just used to get a better understanding) > C# > Javascript > Python > Java > C++.
I work in PHP and JavaScript but I hate PHP. I have been boning up my python skills, but I’m also learning Golang because I’m not only love the language, but there is far less competition for jobs.
Learn 2 similar languages at the time: Java and C#
You make more sense than the other web-dev guy who says Java is Trash and PHP is trasher hahahahha
I wonder where Commodore BASIC ends up on this list. Hobby language? Museum?
Thanks for the inspiring data-based approach! I did a similar data search focused on indeed, remote, >160k salary, and added the factor of the existing developer population to show both demand and supply. Result: Python is absolute #1 with a score twice as much as the tier 2 languages which include C#, C++, Java and JavaScript who share similar scores. PHP is so poor that's not even worth considering for full time jobs (it thrives at Upwork though though for the vast number of WordPress website building jobs). Considering the tech stack lock in effect in the employment market, Python is definitely worth all-in for long term career development.
Seeing Java being in the top 3 really warms my heart
but its interesting that you dont know which programming languages you can use for building iOS apps for example.. makes me question your experience a bit honestly 😀
and you think it is interesting that there are so many freelance jobs for PHP.. are you really serious that you dont know this?
What exactly are you doing in Uber? 😀
Languages have also different user bases.
It is hard to quantify, but take into account also the number of competitors for a given job.
Rust pays well for that reason.
I thought C would be on here. Outdated I suppose?
PLEASE DO THIS THIS YEAR
Cow is the only programming language you need
How about C?
People say C++ is hard
People say they like Rust
What is wrong with me I feel oposite way
it's not that I don't like idea of rust but they could keep normal names like in c++, javascript, kind of python etc… most languages have normal names but not rust. That personaly makes it language you don't want to learn with other languages.
Super helpful
I think most of javascript users don't know the fundamentals/Computer Science part. Why it works this way.
It's good for a trend, but might get stuck at a certain level and cannot get over it.
If you know OOP on the other hand, you know almost everything and it will be always in demand.
Difference between wanna be and the real deal.
teeth are brighter than the day light..what's it called?
I'm just particularly annoyed at the fact that almost every top "guide" assumes i have no previous programming knowledge making everything slow as hell
do you have veneers?
ABAP for live babyyyy
python, was my first language i started to learn, but after a few months i switch to JS and have been focused on that and react for over 5 years now, and i haven't looked back at python since. recently i have been tempted to jump over to C# or java.
This video is pretty practical and gives me a lot of aspects to think about.
Thank you for the great video!
