Common Modern Languages: and The People Who Love Them

Common Modern Languages
and the people who love them
Introduction to Computer Programming
C
Commonly used in anything that requires fast execution time
System software (drivers, operating system code, etc) Graphic Processing and Gaming (gaming engines, multimedia encoding/decoding, image processing, etc) Many (if not most) operating systems are written in C
Famous programs running C code (or C Derivative)

Microsoft Windows Mac OS Linux Kernel Adobe Photoshop MySQL

C++
(C Plus Plus) Great for higher level applications
Its relationship to C allows you to dabble in some low level functionality but have the ability to work in the object oriented world as well
Often used in COM, Network, and Service layers Famous programs written in C++
Google Amazon.com Firefox / Chrome Maya KDE

WiBit.Net
C#
(C Sharp) Implemented in desktop, web, and mobile applications A pure object oriented language with very modern features Its forgiving style and easy memory management allows developers (in many instances) to write programs as fast as they can type Generally found in conjunction with a framework such as .NET and Mono Commonly used in ASP.NET Web programming, Web Services, and Windows Embedded
WiBit.Net
Perl
Probably the most popular scripting language of all time It is an object oriented language that runs interpreted, which means it is completely platform independent Used most commonly in backend jobs (file processing, system administration), web (CGI) scripting, network programming, and quick and dirty programs
WiBit.Net
HTML
(HyperText Markup Language) Formatting language used by applications to display content, such as web sites Really not a programming language Tags are used to identify objects (elements) Tags contain declarations and attributes Can be used with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) to dictate formatting Used predominantly on the web to format content XML (Extensible Markup Language) is similar to HTML, except it is used to encode information into a standard object oriented format
JavaScript
Client side scripting language that is most often used in unison with HTML to create dynamic and interactive web content HTML elements can be declared as objects and manipulated in a similar way as a C++ object Although Java is in the name, the language shares little resemblance Seen mostly in web and mobile development Many times JavaScript is used in combination with or embedded in another language
WiBit.Net
PHP
(PHP Hypertext Preprocessor) Server side scripting language that dynamically generates HTML content for the web Its easy integration with MySQL has made it a staple in today's web development toolkit Even-though this language has been around for a long time, its popularity is still on the rise Part of the Poor Mans Web Arsenal (LAMP) Language syntax is based on Perl
Objective-C
Pronounced Object-ive See Used in the Apple frameworks for Mac OS applications as well as iPhone, iPad and other Apple devices It is the foundation for the Cocoa and Cocoa Touch framework (GUI Framework for Mac OS and iOS) Language exploded in early 2010 as Apple mobile devices became wide spread Probably was not designed to be as popular as it became Developer controlled memory management
WiBit.Net
Java
Very similar to C# (or C# is similar to Java) also just as popular Some developers complain about its execution time being slow, issues with cross platform promises, and forced exception handling Very powerful and in wide spread use in desktop, web, and mobile applications Despite some of its shortcomings, it is still preferred by many developers today Popular with Blackberry and Android Development
WiBit.Net
SQL
(Structured Query Language) See-Quill is a Language that allows users to extract and manipulate data that is contained in a database This language varies slightly between databases, but maintains certain similarities Major SQL Flavors
Microsoft SQL Server MySQL Oracle PostgreSQL Sybase DB2 (IBM)
WiBit.Net
TCL
(Tool Command Language) A scripting language (interpreted) that was designed to be embedded in applications It has evolved into a stand alone language over the years with GUI libraries added later on Most common in embedded applications Its fast performance makes its ideal for repetitive operations Commonly used in the Finance, Healthcare, and Robotics industries
WiBit.Net
and last but least
Visual Basic
Visual (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) Microsoft's implementation of the BASIC language, which was a language designed for "non-computer science" people, according to its creators Although this is somehow still popular, it thankfully seems to be on a decline in recent years VB also has a scripting language based on it called VBScript Most commonly found in web (ASP.NET), desktop, COM, and database applications
WiBit.Net
Other things worth noting

AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML)
Not a language, but an implementation of JavaScript and XML
SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)

Not a language. Message structure used to exchange data in Web Services
UNIX Shell
Command-line interpreter that executes shell commands in real time or from a text file
Python
Multipurpose scripting language that prides itself on clean looking syntax
Ruby
OOP Language inspired by Perl, SmallTalk, and LISP Design philosophy is based on human needs rather than the needs of the computer system
COBAL
Still used in mainframe software
