Preface : 

If you are one of those who are planning to learn a programming language but don't know which one, then this article might help you in deciding what to learn among hundreds of programming languages that have been in the market for years. There are many programming languages out there that make it challenging to select one.

Most programming languages out there have made their place for years and still they have made sure to stick to that place or  just moved slightly up or down in the list. But in 2021, programming languages have become so much popular and useful for various different kinds of domains. So today in this particular blog I will be talking about top 5 programming languages to learn in 2021. So without wasting any more time let's get started.

First things first, programming languages have evolved so much in recent years that it is no doubt that they are so demanding nowadays. Due to such a high demand for programming languages in the market people often think about learning these programming languages and in search of the best programming language they tend to waste their time. So, this article will be mentioning some of the best programming languages out there so that it becomes easy for you to start your programming journey.

Please note that these rankings are solely based on my research and are just for the purpose of information.

So, according to my research, no.1 position is grabbed by C programming language while no.2 position is grabbed by none other than python while no.3 position is grabbed by Java followed by C++ followed by JavaScript.

Let's talk about the applications of the above mentioned programming languages in different domains.

C : 

If you have ever noticed the Operating system, or the games that we play often then you might know that the most important factor in these domains is speed and quick response of our actions. These two parameters are so important that they can even make or break the popularity of any game. And here comes the C programming language which is very popular in this domain as it is one of the fastest programming languages out there because of its close resemblance to the machine level code and one of the most preferred programming languages when it comes to game development and OS development. Here are some major real world applications of C programming language:

1. Operating System Development. 

2. Graphical User Interfaces development.

3. Drivers for Embedded Systems development. 

4. Games Development.

Hence, the C programming language in spite of being so old is still leading the market in many of its applications.

Python: 

Python is one of the most easy to learn programming languages out there due to its very easy syntax most probably. Moreover, It has various applications in different domains.Some applications of Python are:

1. Data Analytics. 

2. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

Introduction to Web development. [Chapter 3]

In this chapter, I am assuming that you have already learnt the basics of Frontend web development like HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT and BOOTSTRAP. Now, it's time to discuss the projects that you can make to sharpen your skills and practice coding.

There are literally so many projects that can be developed using the basics of Frontend web development. To develop these projects, you need to be consistent and you need to have the ability to search for solutions to the problems that you are going to face during the project development.

 You should always remember that projects are something that show your skills and knowledge. So, you need to make sure that your projects are good but it doesn’t mean that you have to create an awesome project from the very beginning, no, it’s absolutely not like that, you should try to create some basic projects first and them you should go for intermediate level and then you should go for some advanced level projects.

Here is a list of projects and the reasons why you should try to create them.

1. Basic Static Web page. ( to make you feel comfortable and confident in coding)

2. A parallax website. (if you don’t know parallax just click here for the demo.)

3. Your personal portfolio website. (This is important.)

4. A Landing Page. ( this will help you think of different designs)

5. A Website with a form. (make sure to use the form validation techniques as much as possible as it will create an impact ).

6. A web page that includes the knowledge of CSS flexbox or CSS grid. ( this will enhance your ability to make excellent responsive websites.)

Hope it helps, have a nice day.

So after doing some projects, you may go for different popular libraries or frameworks that are there to make the frontend web development experience easy and smooth. We will be discussing them in Chapter 4.

Introduction to Web Development [Chapter 2]

In this chapter we are going to discuss the most important thing that is the sub-categories in web development and their technologies respectively.

Web Development is sub-categorised into three sections called Front-End, Back-End and Full Stack Development.

Lets dive deep into these subcategories one by one.

Front-End Development: In simple words, the website that the user sees or we may say the user interface of the website is Frontend. It is also called client-side development.

Back-End Development: This is the opposite side of frontend that the user can not see. It is also called server-side development.

Full Stack Development: This can be said as the combination of both- Frontend and Backend development.

Let's get into technological details and learning resources. You should learn the below mentioned technologies in a sequential manner.

Front-End Development

Technologies to learn:

HTML: HTML stands for Hyper Text Mark-up Language.


CSS: CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets.

JAVASCRIPT: JavaScript is a Programming language that is widely used in Web development. We mostly use it to make the website dynamic.

BOOTSTRAP: Bootstrap is the most popular framework used for developing responsive and mobile-first websites and it has a huge demand in the market.

After learning the basics you may go for different popular libraries or frameworks that are there to make the Frontend development experience easy and smooth.

That’s it for now.

Introduction to Web Development [Chapter 1]

(Note : This blog is divided into several chapters to make it simple and easy for the user to understand the things smoothly and avoid over-information at a time.)

When it comes to learning web development or say any kind of development that requires some technologies to be executed in the proper manner, people often feel reluctant as they get worried about the different technologies that they require to learn that specific development, be it Web or Android Development.

Now the question arises. WHY ?

Why do learners get so overwhelmed when it comes to learning Web or Android Development?

It’s because of the lack of correct and useful guidance.

Yeah! You read it right. People often get the first advice or guidance from those who have absolutely no experience in this field.

That’s why, here, I am going to share the learning path for web development right from its introduction to some of the best free resources out there that you may use to learn Web Development.

So, without wasting your time, let’s get started.

Introduction.

Basically Web Development is the process to develop websites for different purposes. The websites can be of any type ranging from simple static page websites to complex web applications, electronic businesses and social network services. Now, let’s dive into the great world of web development. Wait ! I have something for you and that’s a tip: “Consistency is the key”. Remember this always.

So, without further ado let’s start.

Websites can be divided into some categories like Static and Dynamic, etc.

1. Static Websites: As the word suggests, these are the websites that are displayed to the user just as they are stored. In simple words we may say that they appear exactly as they are(it may sound funny for now).

2. Dynamic Websites: Here also, as the word suggests, these are the websites that are dynamic in nature means that the content of such websites changes in a dynamic manner.
