2. HOW TO BE A SMART CODER?
Software development is a vigorous field where
technologies, frameworks and programming languages
shift, change, or dissolve within a few years. This is the
reason, good coders are life-long learners and in constant
search of ways to polish their skills.
Observing the industry trends and shifting job demand,
we’ve compiled a list of programming languages that will
rule 2018. This will not help you learn but help in making the
right career decisions.

3. PERL
Perl is known as a family of languages. In spite of
dropping about 3,000 job postings, Perl is still on the list.
“Perl 5 and Perl 6 are both persisting along and Perl
remains to be popular for network and system
administrators.
The proficient programming language with more than 29
years of development. It operates on over hundred
platforms mainframes to portables and is very suitable
for both large-scale and small projects.

PHP
PHP is a general-purpose scripting language that is well-
matched to server-side web development. In this case,
PHP runs on a web server. Any PHP code in an entreated
file is completed by the PHP runtime. It often creates
vibrant images and web page content used on websites.
It shifted from ninth rank to sixth this year. Majority of
the developers utilize this scripting language to interact
with MySQL databases, or to add tasks that cannot be
handled by HTML.

5. C#
C# is a multi-standard programming language including
programming disciplines that are component-oriented,
object-oriented, generic, declarative, imperative and
strong typing.
C# fell in job demand to some extent this year. An object-
oriented language from Microsoft intended to operate on
the .NET platform; it is also cripplingly utilized in video
game development. C# 7.2 came out in November 2017
and incorporated numerous new structures directed at
evading needless copying.

6. 4
C++
It is a general-purpose programing language that has
generic and object-oriented programming features. In
addition to this, it provides facilities for low-memory
manipulations.
The language is usually utilized for embedded firmware,
client-server apps, drivers, game development, and
system software. Majority of programmers find it difficult
to use and learn C++. They prefer JavaScript or Python,
but it remains in use in most of the legacy systems at big
businesses.

7. JAVASCRIPT
JS is interpreted, multi-paradigm, prototype-based,
weakly typed, dynamic and a high-level programming
language. JavaScript maintains the popularity that it has
received last year. This is because; it is used by 95% of
all websites and 80% of developers for any active logic
on their pages. Many front-end developers for JavaScript
like AngularJS and React have big future potential as
mobile and IoT devices become very famous. So, there
are very fewer chances that JavaScript’s popularity will
decrease in the coming time period.

8. 6
PYTHON
Python is an understood high-level programming
language for general-purpose programming. Python grew
in fame by about 5,000 job postings ever since last year.
It is usually used in machine learning, data mining and
scientific computing- and the expansion in demand for
machine learning developers in specific is perhaps
driving some of its popularity.

9. JAVA
It is general-purpose computer programming language
that is object-oriented, concurrent, class-based and
explicitly aimed to have a few application dependencies
as possible. Popularity rate of Java shrunk by about
6,000 job postings going into 2018 as compared to 2017.
On the other hand, it is still very well-established
language, utilized by millions of developers and devices
as all Android apps are constructed in Java, and 90% of
Fortune 500 companies utilize Java as a server-side
language for backend development.
