Top Programming languagesEvery single device we use that accepts inputs has been programmed. From your blue-ray player to your latest Smartphone, from the basest appliance to the most complex one, programming has its use.

Programming Languages used to make software/games etc.

A brief Introduction
In the 80s, structured programming was very popular. It aimed at programming using structures, or blocks. But as the programs grew complex, structured programming grew way too complex to understand. That was when object-oriented programming came. Most of the top programming languages that are console-based are object oriented. It offers reliability and security than structured paradigm.

Top Programming languagesTop 4 Programming languages that you should learn are:

Java

Java represents a revolutionary change in the way we program. It displayed that OOP-languages simply and in a way revolutionize the program. It was developed at Sun Microsystems by a team led by James Gosling.

C++

It was preceded by C, the programming language with no class, yet the most popular and influential programming language ever made. C is still popular but its popularity has been equaled by C++.

Scope

it can be used to make almost everything. You can develop games, program hardware, make OS, make a web server etc. Internet applets are not supported by this language.

C#

Created by Microsoft for use in its API. You can develop games, software, windows 8 app and windows phone apps. In short, any API that Microsoft has developed, you can use it.
