What Are Coding Languages?
• Definition: Communicating with computers
• Purpose: Writing instructions
• Examples: Python, Java, C++
History of Coding Languages
• Evolution from machine code to high-level
languages
• Key milestones: Fortran (1957), Java (1995)
Types of Coding Languages
• High-Level: Python, Java
• Low-Level: Assembly, Machine Code
• Scripting: JavaScript, Ruby
Compiled vs. Interpreted
Languages
• Compiled: C++, Java
• Interpreted: Python, JavaScript
• Differences in execution
Popular Coding Languages Today
• Top 2024 languages: Python, JavaScript, Java,
C#, C++
• Brief descriptions of each
Python
• Easy to learn
• Used in AI, ML, web development
• Example code snippet: print('Hello, World!')
JavaScript
• Frontend and backend development
• Key framework: Node.js
• Example: console.log('Hello, World!')
Java
• Object-oriented
• Enterprise apps, Android development
• Example: System.out.println('Hello, World!')
C++
• High performance
• Applications: Games, system software
• Example: std::cout << 'Hello, World!';
C#
• Common in game development (Unity)
• Integration with Microsoft platforms
• Example: Console.WriteLine('Hello, World!');
Ruby
• Known for simplicity and productivity
• Popular in web development (Ruby on Rails)
• Example: puts 'Hello, World!'
PHP
• Backend web development
• Popular in WordPress
• Example: echo 'Hello, World!';
