Top 10 In-Demand programming languages to learn in 2021.

The top programming languages for new developers.

There are around 600 programming languages out there. The demand and popularity of programming languages fluctuate every year. Also, new programming languages are coming with attractive features.

So, which programming language should you learn? Learning a new programming language is always an investment of your time and brainpower. If you are a seasoned developer or if you already know several programming languages, then you can learn a niche, modern one. 
But if you are starting your programming career in 2020 or if you want to learn your first or second programming language, then it is wise to learn one of the mainstream and established programming languages. Here I will list programming languages based on the following criteria:


1) Python:-

For people just starting out with computer science in 2021, and even for those with some experience with this language, Python is something every programmer should be comfortable with. This language offers an intuitive and easy-to-learn syntax that makes it a popular choice among beginners and professionals alike. The beauty of Python is that it is extremely versatile, as it can almost be used anywhere. Whether you want to work on some back-end application of a website or mobile application, or you want to on some data science-related work, Python is critical to these tasks and many more. Python is the preferred language in the areas of machine learning, deep learning, artificial intelligence, and other data science fields. Data science is the hottest topic these days, as businesses and companies are now extracting insights from data analysis and using that to further grow their markets. Libraries, such as TensorFlow, Keras, Scikit, etc., have made the computation required for running different models extremely cheap and fast to execute.


This versatility and availability of all kinds of libraries in Python have led to enormous growth in demand for this language. Python just keeps on growing without slowing down.

2) JavaScript:-

JavaScript is one of the most widely used languages, as it is considered the standard programming language of the web. It is used in almost every website you have seen on the Internet. JavaScript provides a syntax that allows it to be used in both the front-end and back-end sections of websites, showing the flexibility and power that it possesses. In addition to HTML and CSS, JavaScript offers a way that allows users to not only develop and design their websites but also make their websites more dynamic by adding functionalities to the elements present in the site. Moreover, Javascript is also the fundamental language used in web frameworks, such as React, Vue, and Node, making it the undisputed king in the web development department. Websites that you regularly visit, such as Google, YouTube, and Wikipedia, were all created using JavaScript.

3) Java:-

Java is another immensely popular programming language that, albeit being one of the oldest languages out there, is still highly in-demand. Java is often used in the work of large organizations. It is also widely used in Android development, which, considering the popularity that Android applications have garnered, makes Java a highly sought-after skill to have. Due to Java’s scalability, strong memory allocation, and high performance, companies like Amazon, Twitter, and Adobe are a few names that come under the list of users of this programming language, along with a million other repositories that can be found at GitHub.


4) C/C++ :-

C/C++ is among the fastest programming languages out there, providing a high level of functionality. This language is therefore used in the majority of low-level systems, such as operating systems, embedded systems, kernel development, etc. It is even used as a baseline in the development of other programming languages. Due to its large set of libraries and stable nature, C/C++ also plays a huge role in the areas of game development, computer graphics, virtual reality, and more. Companies like Nvidia, Google, Microsoft, and Apple are often on the lookout for C/C++ developers.


5) C# :-

C# is a programming language developed by Microsoft that has made quite a name for itself in the web and game development departments. C# is most regularly used in the Unity software, which is one of the most popular game engine software used for building 2D and 3D video games. C# also plays a huge role in building Windows applications and has therefore been used at the back-end side of websites such as Bing, Visual Studio, etc.

6) PHP:-

Despite the huge popularity that languages like Python and JavaScript have garnered in backend development, PHP is still going strong and continues to be used by large companies, including Facebook, Yahoo, and Wikipedia. There remains a huge demand for PHP developers in the market, as many websites (particularly WordPress) around the web are running using PHP as their baseline. Therefore, PHP is still a great choice as a language to learn in 2021.

7) Swift:-

Swift is a programming language developed by Apple for creating iOS applications. It is one of the most in-demand languages out there, as iOS applications are still extremely popular among users and Apple is still standing strong. Although Flutter (Dart) and React Native are also options for iOS development, Swift is still the more widely used and preferred option.

8) Kotlin:-

Kotlin is a language developed by JetBrains whose work revolves around the development of Android applications. This is precisely why Google decided to name Kotlin as the official language for Android development, putting it ahead of Java. And, as Android is the highest-selling mobile operating system, the fact that Kotlin is one of the languages to learn in 2021 comes as no surprise.

  The Difference Between a Penetration Test and Vulnerability Assessment - Part 2 What is the Difference Between a Penetration Test and Vulnerability Assessment? Part 2 of 2 Comparing Penetration Tests and Vulnerability Assessments In part 1 of this post, we focused on the Vulnerability Scans, Vulnerability Assessments, and  Vulnerability Management  in order to differentiate the 3 prior to digging into Penetration Tests. Now, let’s introduce and define Penetration Tests, explain the test itself and goals, then go through the different types of Penetration Tests. What is a Penetration Test? A  Penetration test , or pen test, is the process an ethical hacker conducts on a target and the IT environment to uncover vulnerabilities by exploiting them. The goal is to gain unauthorized access through exploitation which can be used to emulate the intent of a malicious hacker. Penetration test reports may also assess potential impacts on the organization and suggest countermeasures to reduce ri
