The US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects a 25 percent growth rate for software developers, quality assurance analysts, and testers between 2021 and 2031. This is a much faster rate than the 8 percent average for all occupations.
However, not all jobs in this field require the same skill sets and knowledge. By learning the right programming languages and expanding your knowledge of the languages you already understand, you can enhance your resume and stand out from other candidates.

Most popular programming languages among software developers worldwide are:

JavaScript
According to a study by Statista, JavaScript is the most popular language to learn. JavaScript (JS) is a scripting language used to make websites and mobile applications more interactive. It is also commonly used for game development. JavaScript is well-known for its ability to make websites come alive by adding elements such as animations, dropdown menus, and color-changing buttons.

HTML/CSS
Fifty-five percent of the software developers who participated in the Statista survey stated that they used HTML/CSS. Like JavaScript, HTML and CSS are used for front-end development. HTML is the standard programming language for documents designed for web browser display. CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is a rule-based language. It determines how specific elements should be displayed in a document that is written in a markup language like HTML.

Python
Python is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that combines data structures with easy-to-learn syntax. Its applications vary from simple functions like powering a moderator bot on Reddit to complex functions such as financial data analysis and machine learning.

C # (pronounced C sharp)
C# is a high-level, object-oriented programming language that compiles into byte code instead of machine code.
