in this video we're gonna talk about the
top three programming languages to learn
in 2020 whether you're an absolute
beginner wanting to learn programming
for the first time or you're an
experienced developer looking for new
job opportunities this video is for you
I've picked these languages based on
Google Trends and the results of various
surveys and studies these are the most
versatile programming languages that
offer you the best job opportunities of
course merely knowing a programming
language does not land you a job you
need to know a lot of other stuff too
but we'll talk about that in another
video now before we get started make

next time I upload a video
I'm not Sharma Danny LM a software
engineer with almost two decades of
experience and I've taught over three
million people how to code or how to
become a professional software engineer
so let's jump right in and talk about
the top three programming languages to
learn in 2020 Python is one of the most
liked programming languages of all time
here's a preview of my Python tutorial
on YouTube this is my most popular
tutorial and has been watched over 6
million times since last year if you
want to learn Python I've put the link
down below
according to indeed.com the average
salary of a Python developer in the US
is about 120 thousand dollars a year and
here is the result of stack overflows
developer survey in 2019 as you can see
Python ranks as the most wanted
programming language of the year here
are a few reasons why Python is the most
popular programming language in the
world
Python is very beginner friendly and is
particularly easy to learn for people
who don't want to become professional
software engineers a lot of accountants
engineers and scientists use Python in
their day to day work Python is
extremely popular for machine learning
AI projects and research anyone who
wants to get into machine learning na I
should definitely learn Python
professional software engineers also use
Python to build web mobile and desktop
applications but quite frankly Python is
not very reputable when it comes to
building mobile and desktop applications
with
talk about the best languages for these
kind of applications in a moment
Python and a framework called Django are
very popular amongst back-end developers
and on top of all this pythons code is
very simple and free of clutter here's a
snippet of Python code that asks the
user to enter a number and then tells if
the number is even or odd as you can see
the syntax looks way different from
other programming languages there are no
curly braces no classes and no public or
private modifiers it's extremely simple
and free of clutter this is one of the
reasons that Python is so appealing to a
lot of people here's the bottom line if
you're an absolute beginner or if you
want to get into machine learning and AI
Python is the best language to learn
right now the second language on the top
three programming languages list is Java
why you might say seriously isn't Java
dead what about coddling Tamwar friend
Kotlin is a fairly new programming
language with a small community and is
often used for new development there are
tens of thousands of projects already
built with Java and these projects are
not being migrated to coddling let's do
some quick research on indeed.com I'm
gonna search for Java developer in the
US so as you can see there currently
over 29,000 jobs for Java developers in
the US now let's search for Cartland
developer they're just over 1,000 jobs
also according to a indeed.com the
average salary of a Java developer in
the US is 105 thousand dollars per year
here are a few reasons why Java is one
of the most popular programming
03:54
languages Java is used in enterprise
software applications
it's used by plenty of tech companies
around the world to build large-scale
applications huge companies like uber
Airbnb Twitter and many others used Java
in their tech stack and this means that
finding a job as a Java developer is
relatively easy and definitely easier
than Cartland Java is also used in
developing native Android apps if you're
interested in becoming a mobile
developer focusing on building native
Android apps then learning Java makes a
lot of
also Java has been a popular programming
language for almost two decades and
there's a huge support community but you
start learning Java you will encounter
tons of resources forums and books to
help you along the way and here's my
personal opinion about Java even if you
don't want to become a Java developer
simply knowing Java and understanding
its syntax would be very beneficial
because there are tons of great books on
courses on software engineering that are
based on Java most books about data
structures algorithms design patterns
automatic testing and software
architecture are based on Java that is
why in my opinion knowing Java is like
knowing English if you understand
English and can speak it a bit you can
travel around the world Java in the
programming world is like the English
language of our world now here's the
Python code that I showed you earlier
let's see what this code looks like in
Java
obviously the code is more verbose it's
longer that's why learning Java could be
slightly difficult for people who have
never programmed before and here's the
bottom line if you're serious about
software development and building
enterprise applications Java is the best
language to learn the next top
programming language to learn in 2020 is
JavaScript for the seventh year in a row
javascript has ranked as the most
popular programming language in a survey
conducted by Stack Overflow
according to indeed.com the average
salary of a JavaScript developer in the
US is 114 thousand dollars per year just
like Python and Java javascript is also
a versatile language which means we can
use it to build various types of web
mobile and desktop applications but
JavaScript really shines in web and
mobile application development using
javascript and react native you can
build cross-platform mobile apps so
instead of building a separate app for
iOS or Android and maintaining two
different code bases you write your
application once in JavaScript and build
it for different platforms you have a
single codebase to maintain that's why a
lot of companies these days prefer to
build apps this way because of the
reduced cost of course if you want to
leverage the full
our of a platform like iOS or Android
you should build apps using the native
language and frameworks with that
platform for iOS that is Swift and for
Android that is Java but again most
companies prefer cross-platform
solutions and that's why the more job
opportunities for JavaScript and react
native developer compared with Swift
developer JavaScript also has a huge
community and whenever you get stuck
there plenty of people out there who
could help you and here's the bottom
line if you want to become a web
developer or if you want to build
cross-platform mobile apps
you should learn JavaScript so let's
quickly recap the top three programming
languages to learn in 2020 are Python
Java and JavaScript Python is best
suited for machine learning and AI Java
is best suited for building enterprise
applications and javascript is the
language of choice for building web or
cross-platform mobile apps if you want
to learn any of these languages I've put
links down below
I have tutorials for you here on my
channel and if you want to learn more I
have complete courses that go way beyond
the tutorials on this channel all my
courses come with a 30-day money-back
guarantee and a certificate of
completion that you can add your resume
with all that what programming language
do you want to learn in 2020 let me know
