What Is Product Development?
What Is The Process?
Before delving into the world of programming, there are a few things you need to know first about programming languages and their terms, Binarian! Starting from C, Java, PHP, to Phyton, let’s get to know each other in depth about what a programming language is!
What is a Programming Language and Its Functions
- A programming language is a series of words that are manifested in an instruction or command and consist of many lines that can be understood by the computer. Basically, with this programming language, the computer will process data according to the instructions given.
- This computer programming language must be understood and mastered by a Developer or Programmer in order to be able to create and build an application or software.
- To create a particular application, a computer programming language will be used that suits the needs of the application that will be created later. The number of computer programming languages themselves is quite large and diverse. Well, of the many computer programming languages, of course not all of them will be used by a Developer. There will only be one or two computer programming languages used in creating software development.
For the most frequently used and quite popular computer programming languages are Java and C.
After knowing the definition and function of the programming language, below are some examples of the most popular programming languages among developers that you also need to know. Take note and understand!
10 Examples of the Most Popular Programming Languages among Developers
1. Java
- Java is a computer programming language that can be used and run on various platforms, including PCs to mobile. This computer programming language was originally developed by Sun Microsystems on The Green Project in 1991, but then this program was released for Oracle.
- The name Java was chosen because one of the founders of Java, James Gosling, really liked pure coffee (tubruk coffee) ground by a coffee grinder. And the coffee comes from Java Island (Java, the name during the Dutch colonial period) you know!
- Java itself is one of the most popular computer programming languages because it has several advantages, such as being able to run on different operating systems. Java is also a computer programming language that is included in object-oriented OOP programming.
- This certainly makes it easier for programmers to compile the program being created. In addition, this language also has a complete library, making it easy for programmers to use it.
- The applications on your smartphone are also made using the Java computer programming language. This makes more and more programmers use it because it is widely used by the public.
2. C Programming Language
- The C language is the oldest computer programming language. This C language was developed in the 70s. The creator of the C language himself is named Dennis Ritchie. The C language is quite popular in Indonesia because almost all of its users are IT majors or programming course institutions.
- The C language is the most basic computer programming language before you learn other computer programming languages. So it can be said that this C language is the basis before other computer programming languages finally appear.
3. PHP
- PHP is also one type of programming language that is quite popular and most widely used in Indonesia. Apart from being free, PHP is also used because it is a type of server side scripting computer programming language that is specifically designed to build a dynamic website.
- In addition, there are many other well-known types of websites, such as Facebook, WordPress, and Digg that use the PHP language in their development process. You also need to know that PHP was first developed by Rasmus Lerdrorf.
4. Visual Basic
- Visual Basic is one of the computer programming languages developed directly by Microsoft. This computer programming language offers visual ideas in making its software. Well, the creation of computer programming languages is also developed for the purpose of making software based on the Windows operating system.
- Visual Basic itself is a descendant of the Basic programming language. In Indonesia itself, there is a group called Visual Basic Indonesia which has more than 22 thousand members. Wow!
5. Phyton
- In a level of computer programming language, the Phyton language is a high-level language. Phyton is included in the category of computer programming languages that can be used to build an application, both web-based and mobile-based.
- The Phyton language itself is included in the type of computer programming language that is quite easy to learn even for beginners. This is because the language is quite easy to read with syntax so it is also quite easy to understand.
6. C++
- C++ is a programming language developed from the C language. C++ and C have almost the same writing syntax. However, these two computer programming languages have differences in solving problems.
- In C, the problem is solved by dividing it into smaller sub-problems or commonly called procedural computer programming languages. For C++ itself, it is more object-oriented, where the problems are divided into certain classes.
- The C++ language was first developed by Bjarne Stroustrup. C++ is one of the most popular computer programming languages because it is often used by large companies to build their software, such as Adobe and Firefox.
7. JavaScript
- JavaScript is a type of computer programming language developed by Netscape. The use of JavaScript is also more emphasized on web development only. Using JavaScript can certainly help you create an attractive and interactive website.
- In Indonesia itself, it turns out that there is a Facebook group created specifically to discuss matters related to JavaScript called JavaScript Indonesia. This group has more than 10 thousand members and is still active today.
8. C#
C# is a computer programming language developed directly by Microsoft. C# is created by combining the principles of C and C++ languages. C# is also widely used for software development media using the Windows platform.
9. Objective-C
Objective-C is one of the object-oriented computer programming languages. This computer programming language can also be used to develop applications used on Apple devices. Not only that, even the iOS operating system is also developed using the Objective-C language.
10. ActionScript
- ActionScript is a computer programming language created based on ECMAScript. ECMAScript is used in developing websites and software that use the Adobe Flash Player platform.
- ActionScript is also usually used in several database applications, such as those used in Five and Alpha. This ActionScript language was originally developed by Macromedia. However, over time, its development was finally continued by Adobe by buying Macromedia in 2005.
- The latest ActionScript is currently version ActionScript 3.0. This version of ActionScript 3.0 is the latest language from the previous edition known as ActionScript 2.0. Well, ActionScript 3.0 has several advantages when compared to its predecessor, including the addition of file features in ActionScript 3.0 that can be created separately during the runtime process.
