Java Tops The List

Folks,

It is not at all surprising me by any means that Java tops the most-demanding programming language in the world and the Java Programmers are highly paid as well.

Here is a Chart for you!


It ranks dozens of programming languages against 12 weighted data sources: Google search, Google trends, Github, Stack Overflow, Hacker News, Reddit, Career Builder, Dice, Topsy, and IEEE Xplore. In addition to the overall rank, you can view which languages are rapidly growing, are in high demand in the workplace, popular in social sites and open source hubs (e.g., GitHub and Stack Overflow), or your own custom weighting. You can also filter by language type: web, mobile, enterprise, or embedded.

Interestingly enough, Java tops the list for all of the rankings. To account for the weighting to be skewed by people needing help with the languages rather than actual popularity, IEEE Spectrum separated some sources to differentiate between queries that were asking questions versus resources for current coders.

Of course, there's much more to consider when choosing a language than just popularity (for first-time coders, Lifehacker readers voted for Python), but this is an interesting look at the current state of programming languages.


Platypus Man, A Professional Software Engineer says: "Speaking as a professional software engineer, the biggest skill isn't any one specific language, but the ability to pick up new languages easily and program well in any of them. If you want to learn a language for your own reasons, sure, go for it, but I wouldn't specifically go out and learn a language just because it's "in demand" and hope for the best."

To which Melanie Pinola, author of this article replies as: "I agree. But everyone has to start somewhere! and things like job demand and growth are important considerations for some."

They had a number of interesting findings. Here are my three big take-aways from their results:

Jobs requiring Java are the highest paying - The average salary for Java jobs across the US, Great Britain and Australia was about $84,000 (in U.S. dollars). The next highest paying jobs were those requiring Ruby/RoR, VBA and Objective-C, all close to what Java positions paid.

JavaScript is the language most in demand - Jobs looking for people skilled in JavaScript were, far-and-away, the most plentiful, mentioned in about 14% of the job listings. C# programmers were the next highest in demand (9%), followed by Java coders (8% of listings). As I wrote last week, JavaScript is the top programming language choice among startups, so this isn’t so surprising.

Jobs requiring niche languages are in lower demand and pay less - Clojure, Haskell, Lisp and Fortran ranked the lowest in terms of both demand and pay. As the authors pointed out, though these languages are popular among developers (e.g., Clojure and Haskell, for example, are popular on GitHub), “They don't however offer stable employment (yet).”

If you poke around MSGooroo you’ll find some other interesting salary/jobs data by programming language. The site presents a more detailed breakdown of pay and demand for different languages within the U.S., Great Britain and Australia. Within the U.S., for example, Java will increase your salary by about $9,300 a year, while having JavaScript on your resume will boost your pay by about $6,700 annually.


It’s well worth reading their full analysis, including nicely detailed disclosures on their methodology. Have at it!

You might not know about Java

You might not know about Java

Folks,

What is Java?

Java is a simple, flexible (platform (operating system) independent) and class based programming language.

Though it is class based programming language it is also a WORA based programming language.

WORA means Write Once Run Anywhere programming language.

The best way to practise Java programs is to type them in any text editor and save the file using the extension ".java". For instance, File_Name.java

Before we compile the saved .java file, we need to install the JVM - Java Virtual Machine.

JVM is the only thing which makes java a special language. I.e., independent language.

As a computer understands only 1's and 0's, JVM converts every application wirtten or developed in Java in ByteCode which is nothing but the 1's and 0's which a computer understands.

Hence if you want to run the application developed using Java in your client machine than we need to install JVM in our client's machine.

Well, I hope that you are clear with JVM now.

And now we will learn how to compile our java program to ensure that our program is error free - syntax error or spelling.

Before we go for compliation, we need to install JDK - Java Development Kit in our machine. I.e., in which we are developing the application.

After installing JDK in our machine we need to ensure that our Command Prompt is able to identify the JDk installed.

To do so, open run and type "cmd" and click OK.

A dialog box will open, type in the textbox "cmd" to open the command prompt.

Type "javac" and type enter.

If it says that it is unable to identify the javac command on the machine than follow the following steps.

Right click on the My Computer / Computer and select "Properties".

There you can see "Advanced System Settings". Click on it.

A dialog box will open, select the "Advanced" tab under which you will find the "Environment Variables..." button, click on it.

There you will find 2 group boxes namely "User Variables for {YOUR_SYSTEM_COMPANY_NAME}" and "System Variables"

Under "System Variables" group box, select the Value of "Path".

And Add the your JDK path to it. Note: Do not delete the existing paths as it will stop the linked applications for running anymore.

Just add as ";" to the existing paths listed therein and add your JDK path into it and click OK.

My Path is "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.7.0_45\bin".

Now open the command prompt and type "javac" and check whether it is able to identify.

Now it should.

Well, after that, you complie your java program by going to the path in which you have saved you java file using the command prompt itself.

And now compile your Java program as "javac File_Name.java"

If there is error than debug it.

Note: After the successful compilation of the program, a file will get generate as you main class name.

Now you need to run the class file as "java Class_Name _To_Run".

It is not mandate that you save the file as the class name but it is highly adviced to do it to avoid confusion.

It is absolutely not like that only one file will generated after the successful compilation of the program but "n" number of files will get generated based on the "n" number of classes you have in your java program.

Well, Happy Coding :)
