Web Development Languages

Java Script
In 2020, for the eighth year running, JavaScript topped the
list of most popular programming languages in
StackOverflow’s Developer Survey. Along with CSS and
HTML, JavaScript is one of the three core web
programming languages.
Python

• Python is a general-purpose language that’s intuitive to learn and


capable of creating highly advanced programs. In 2021, Python
topped the list of most popular programming languages for the
first time.
• Most famous as the go-to programming language for machine
learning, artificial intelligence, and data science, Python is also
one of the best languages for web development. Primarily used on
the back end, Python is an excellent language for beginners. Its
syntax is simple and highly readable, even if it’s your first coding
language.
Python is also an object-oriented programming language; it divides
your code into self-contained units that you can transfer between
projects to avoid redundant, from-scratch programming.
Ruby

• Like Python, Ruby is an object-oriented programming language designed for


usability. It’s popular among web developers because it:
• Categorizes code into simple building blocks called classes.
• Uses “garbage collection” to manage and clean memory.
• Encapsulates instructions in blocks, so it’s easier to call on them.
• Ruby is the basis for the popular Ruby on Rails framework for web applications.
Like Ruby itself, Ruby on Rails is intuitive for non-programmers to learn. It has a
massive user community and plenty of tutorials, plus dedicated libraries that make
coding faster.
• Because RoR is so quick to learn, it lets developers build and launch minimum
viable products (MVPs) quickly. This makes it a popular framework for
e-commerce brands like Shopify and Spree.
Swift

• Swift is an open-source language for application development on


Apple platforms. Built for modern app developers, it’s designed
for power and speed as well as safety. It features:
• A streamlined syntax that makes maintenance easier.
• Fail safes that reduce runtime crashes.
• High performance using the most basic possible code.
HTML
• HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is
the most popular markup language in the world, and it is a must-learn
for front-end web developers. Compared to languages like JavaScript
and Python, HTML is relatively simple.
• HTML is a declarative markup language. It defines the elements of a
web page through labeling—it does not process logic, manipulate data,
or take inputs and produce outputs like a scripting language would. It
is strictly used for page structuring and templating. Most beginning
front-end developers start by learning HTML, and the format that web
pages take when stored on servers.
CSS

• Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) works hand-in-hand with HTML.


CSS is a styling language—a special kind of declarative language
that describes what HTML code should look like on-screen.
• CSS can:
• Position an element somewhere specific on the page.
• Add shading and borders.
• Specify the color and style of a link.
• Change the size, font, or color of the text.
• Alter page background color.
• Animate page elements and sprites.
PHP

• PHP, short for Hypertext Preprocessor, is a server scripting language.


This language creates scripts on web servers that create customized
responses for each user’s request—unlike what you’d get with a
website that looks the same to everyone.
• Learning PHP lets you create web pages that have customized user
interfaces. One well-known example is WordPress, which uses PHP to
structure and display thousands of different websites to visitors. PHP
is why your WordPress site looks different than your colleague’s, and
why you and other WordPress users have different dashboards.
• Interactive debugging .
• Swift is a full-stack language that’s taking over from Apple’s
older Objective-C code, but it’s compatible enough that
Objective-C developers can still use it. It’s also a great language
for brand-new coders, thanks to playgrounds and tutorials that let
everyone experiment with coding.
