In short, programming can accomplish an insanely long list of things for anyone involved.

Are you in the


beginning stages of game development? Are you looking to get into web development and the building
of web applications? Coding is what makes the world turn.

Web developers, UI/UX designers, software developers: they all use the benefits of programming. All of
this is great, but what can coding do for you? What are some of the most natural coding languages you
can learn to start off that project you’ve been putting off? Mastering a programming language can help
you tremendously. Not only that, but since coding and programming have become so widespread and
useful, there are plenty of resources and outlets for you to learn from.

Programming is also a fantastic tool to propel you into a specific career path. If you’re finding that your
current job is a soul-sucking bore, and you need a breath of fresh air, programming might be right up
your alley. College students who are undecided majors may want to take a glimpse and learn that
computer science is a legitimate field of study they may wish to partake in.

According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, jobs dealing with programming are trendy and will grow
at a speedy rate over the next decade. If that’s not enough motivation to explore the basics of
programming, I don’t know what will! Let’s look at some choice career paths for programmers.

(a)Web Developers

1. $73,760 per year


2. $35.46 per hour
3. Growth of 13% over the next ten years

(b)Software Developers

1. $105,590 per year

2 $50.77 per hour

3. Growth of 21% over the next ten years

(c)Database Administrators

1. $93,750 per year

2. $45.07 per hour

3. Growth of 9% over the next ten years

Now that you have a better idea of what lies at the end of your programming education let’s take a
look at some of the most popular and widely-used programming languages out there and determine if
it’s a possible fit for you they’re naturally easy programming languages to learn.

HTML
HTML is a fantastic way to familiarize yourself with some basic framework you can find in other
languages. With HTML, you can customize many aspects of a web page. If you wanted to play around
with how your text looked, you could do any number of things without any sort of background
knowledge in coding. Although HTML is simple and definitely a valuable place to begin a programming
journey to learn some of the core concepts, it isn’t necessarily a coding language proper like the others
on the list.

Python

Python has been a programming favorite. It has excellent ease of use for new learners, (you), and is brief
and to the point, making it one of the easier to learn programming languages available. It’s a
programming language that is in constantly high demand in the job market and is the perfect language
for beginners. Google, Apple, and DropBox are all struct users of Python, so that should give you an idea
of how useful it can be.

Java

Learning Java is a fast, useful programming language that can almost always guarantee you a decent job
in the field of computing. Even if you aren’t a programmer, you have to have already heard of Java, as its
use is so widespread that it has become somewhat of an unofficial institution online.

Java’s design is easy to use, more specifically, to be more simple than some others. Java aims to
eliminate the middleman of detecting unneeded lines of code, whereas others would let you fend for
yourself and find what was unneeded.

For those just starting out on programming, education may feel a little overwhelmed by Java compared
to Python, but it’s still a fantastic option for learning the basics and more advanced concepts.

Final Thoughts on the Easiest Programming Languages to Learn

We hope that this has been a valuable look into some of the benefits of learning to program using a
popular language. Many are surprisingly easy to learn, and can absolutely serve as a helpful ‘in’ at any
job interview you may have.

Skills like being fluent in multiple programming languages can exhibit your attention to detail,
dedication to learning new things, and an eagerness to learn in general that will impress hiring managers
everywhere.

Overall, the general consensus that the easiest programming language to learn (and arguably the most
useful) would be Python. Its ease of use and smaller learning curve for beginners has great appeal to
beginners and old-timers in programming. Apart from HTML, it is the perfect language to learn the
fundamentals of the science of programming.

Python is also becoming an unofficial industry standard. While Java is always going to be useful and
impressive to employers, learning Python is a valuable life skill as well as a career goal.
Whichever operating system you choose to program on, your language of choice will be the thing that
sets you apart in the job market. And, who knows, maybe you’ll catch the eye of one of the heavy hitters
like Google, Netflix, Apple, or Amazon. There’s been no better time to learn how to program using these
languages, and the only limitation is your unwillingness to learn, so get coding!
