What's the Best Programming Language to Learn in 2015?

Hi navi11,

it's depending on what you wanna do!

If you like to program in the web area:

- JavaScript, jQuery, PHP and maybe ASP.NET

If you like to create your own desktop applications:

C#

If you like to create apps on Android or Apple:

For Android: Java & XML
For Apple: Objective C

If you just want to learn programming in general I can recommend you learning Python.

Maybe you can tell us what you wanna do exactly?

Regards,
PHR

Not fully decided, but with a preference to web with perhaps some mobile app development.

Show me an example of one of your mobile apps please.

Why do you recommend Python if it is not for web or desktop or mobile?

Python is a great language to learn. It is such a nice language and allows you to prototype out ideas really quickly.

It can also be used in web work, as it can run serverside. Web frameworks like Django are built with python.

Another rapidly expanding web technology that is worth looking into is Ruby and the Ruby on Rails framework.

If you are interested in web development then you almost certainly need to learn JavaScript and get used to some of the more commonly used frameworks. Definiely jQuery and probably frameworks like AngularJS.

Had a few quotes for App builds previously, even for a very simple restaurant app. They all came in around £5k. Crazy money for the ROI you would get.

App development is definitely one to seriously look at for future proof and the money available. Interesting note on games with ads too, thanks.

Python looks to be the way I think, might get a Raspberry Pi as a little side project as Python seems quite integrated with that too.

as suggested python is a great start and its more versatile than most people think.

You can do desktop programs with Python and PyQT (although I agree C# with .net is a better fit)
You can do mobile with Kivy and python
and you can do killer websites with Django and python.

However other languages are also diverse

you can do desktop, apps and websites with Javascript with Node Js

You can do apps, web and some desktop (if you go Jruby) with ruby (but in my opinion ruby is chiefly good for rails web development)

You can do web (asp.net) ,desktop and mobile (xamarin) with c#


If you are just starting out though python is a whole lot easier to get your head around so I would go with that and maybe second node.js with javascript because if you want to do any web development you have to end up doing Javascript on the front end anyway and node seems to be where a lot of the big boys are investing money.

IF you like gaming, though it takes more to grasp C# , its probably the best all around language as even game development tools like unity use it

Why do you want to learn programming?

The Best language learn in 2015 is php ,asp.net and java. these languages are the best languages.

If you like to program in the web area:

- JavaScript, jQuery, PHP and maybe ASP.NET

If you like to create your own desktop applications:

C#

If you like to create apps on Android or Apple:

For Android: Java & XML
For Apple: Objective C

Php and java is best languages for learn in 2015.These languages provide dynamic websites and security.

Hi,
I've heard that Ruby is getting more and more famous. But in my opinion people mostly use PHP or .Net. I even found an article on that, it's a little bit old, because it's from last year but to me it's still relevant. PHP or .NET - what is better for your Website : Blog - Tips and Advice from HeadChannel

Your question is about learning programming language as a beginner, to be a programmer the first and foremost thing is the HTML and Css, Then JavaScript. after that you can learn PHP, python etc.

In starting, brush up your programming skill. Start learning C/C++ language, then you could choosing any language. Only syntax and function will change from language to language, logic remain the same.

Not exist a best language to learn for 2015, but exists a best language according your purposes.
For web I suggest you to learn: php, javascript. html is not a programming language, but a markup language.
For application development you could learn: c++, delphi or Java for portable application you can use on Windows or Mac with same codebase.
If you want to develop a software only for Windows system I suggest you to learn C#

Your title is: What’s the Best Programming Language to Learn in 2015?

As a tech manager, who regularly hires front end developers, I can tell you that having SOLID AngularJS (and Node.js) skills will get you top dollar, and a ton of options on where you work. If you're not wanting a job, but want to create mobile apps, AngularJS and Ionic make building cross platform mobile apps a lot of fun. So in 2015, my answer is master JavaScript and pick up a trendy framework like AngularJS.

As for your other question, "If I could start programming from Day 1, today. What would you learn?"

JavaScript. Lots of it.

Learn Java/Android.

according to me, ruby on rails is really a gem of all languages.... so its better to learn and explore the variations... well i can suggest you some Ruby on rails experts in India

Python is the best for 2015

I have start learning CSS.

Think about node.js. It's a very hot topic nowadays. But first do some more research before selecting anyone. BTW, node.js is a back-end programming language.

Its all depend on your requirement and your interest. which language you want to learn.

PHP/JavaScript/CSS
Java is also good but it takes longer time to learn it.

For back-end i will recommend PHP
for front-end my choice would be JavaScript

i'll go for python and scala.. coz that's what the market demands for

Hello,
I suggest to learn Python, (Django Framework)
This langage is super powerfull and very easy,
Can be used in many functions ( sciences ... web ... )

I would start with python. It's modern & has a strong community.

PHP, I don't know why everyone is saying python, when php is 10 times popular

tell us what you need. If you choose any, from PHP, iOS, Android... they are most wanted these days

None of the above. Learn abstract programming concepts, Devops, design methodologies and patterns. Then pick your language when you can actually make a educated decision. The world has too many script kiddies and very few developers.

For a beginner, C#, I found that easy. And if you want to make professional programs, C++.

The biggest problem is not really the language to learn but the time you have to devote to the learning process. If you want to dabble, anything would be OK. If you want to become a professional, you'll need to put in hundreds, or thousands, of hours learning. That said, any amount of knowledge you gain will give you an appreciate of the processes involved.

Hey if we are talking about website programming you should learn html, css, php, and jquery.
If you are looking for software programming try and check the advises told here by others.
