Take Your Place in the Software Industry

What are the popular programming languages? We will briefly talk about some of them. You decide which one you want to learn.

*Python

It’s a language that’s been a hit since 2015 and programmers love it. It is advantageous with features such as simplicity, being suitable for many tasks, and speed of compilation. You can do the same things by writing codes at least 3 times shorter than Java. You can also write Arduino, desktop apps, mobile apps. You can encode every object with a board in Arduino and do big data analysis. In the future, robots and robot-like machines will work with this language.

*Ruby and Ruby On Rails

Ruby is a nice language that is easy to learn, write and understand. Developed by the Japanese engineer Yukihiro in the 90s, this language offers an enjoyable coding experience. When you move to object-oriented concepts, you can easily handle things without getting confused. The web framework of this language is Ruby On Rails. You can develop web-based applications with Rails.

*Swift

Apple, the address of quality and aesthetics, has developed the Swift language for its mobile devices. Knowing Swift is the gateway to the iOS world and the App Store. This gate opens to the road of taking a big slice from a big app market.

*Java

Many computer scientists regard Java as the first object-oriented programming language. It’s a language that has been running all sorts of devices since the 90’s. They are almost identical to C# language. It’s built into many devices, from desktop apps to games and Smart TVs. On mobile, Android means Java. If you know Java, you can develop applications for all Android devices.

*C#

It was developed by Microsoft in the 90s against the popularity of Java. With the power of Microsoft’s support, it is a programming language that you can do everything from mobile application to web programming, from desktop application to cloud technologies and even to coding games. You should learn this programming language.

*C

C language, which is one of the oldest, still maintains its usage area. The C language, especially preferred by operating system programmers, may seem primitive due to its simple structure, but this is not true; you can do everything at the most advanced level.

*R Programming

It is the language of choice for statisticians and anyone interested in doing data analysis. This language, which has a growing fan base with the power Google gives to mathematicians, can work in harmony with many languages such as C and Java. While it has effective tools that create graphics, it also allows you to develop your own graphics.

*PHP

It is used and common for programming websites. Its usage rate is one third higher than other languages. Sites such as Wordpress, Yahoo use PHP.

Yes, the choice is yours, start with whichever of these languages is closest to you and remember that knowledge is always valuable. Whichever it is, you are always in profit.

So what does the industry expect from you? Getting your own place in the industry is not as difficult as you think. The industry has always been told to us, so to speak, as a bogeyman, and it is being told.

To find your place in the industry;

First of all, you have to trust yourself. You should trust that you can do it, you may not know it, but remember that it is not difficult to learn.

You should make good use of your time. Instead of branching out and making breakthroughs in each area, you should progress gradually. Remember, stairs cannot be climbed in threes.

Don’t start learning a programming language. First, understand the logic, learn the algorithm well and decide in which field you want to specialize.

Develop small projects. Don’t be afraid, come up with small scenarios. Turn everything in your head into code. Think about how you can automate an existing layout.

Try to see everything in life as a program. Such as the system and cards we use to get on public transport. There is software in every field at any moment, realize that 🤩

Don’t say this is a very simple project, constantly develop new projects. Remember that you cannot improve yourself without developing a project. Include all your projects in your portfolio.

Analyze the project and your requirements well.

In short: We always say; everyone writes code. The only features that distinguish software developers from each other and make them successful: algorithm, analysis ability, meeting requirements, writing clean code, and most importantly, loving their job, not being able to stop writing those codes — just like trying to read a little more out of curiosity while reading a novel you love 🧚🏻‍♀️
