One of the most asked questions those days is What programming language should I learn?
In fact, this is a very important choice you have to make.
You don’t want to fail that’s why you have to make the right choice
The failure pattern that is actually:
- hurdle of the chosen language is too high, that makes you give up on the way
- You are not able to do what you really wanted when you start learning, you are not able to program what you want
- There is no demand for the language you choose

What is Visual Basic.NET (VB.NET)
“VB.NET” is a programming language that is often used as part of IT education.
Compared to C language and Java, it is similar to words (natural language) we use every day, so it is easy to understand even if you still a beginner programmer.
Features of Visual Basic.NET
- Automatic Garbage Collection
- Assembly Versioning
- Boolean Conditions
- Easy-to-use Generics
- Conditional Compilation
- Standard Library
- Delegates and Events Management
- Indexers
- Properties and Events
- Simple Multithreading
Benefits of learning VB .NET
- easy to understand
Because it is used in IT education, it can go up to a certain level with relatively little learning cost.
In the workplace where old technology continues to move, things like “VB 6” are still moving, but as long as “. Net framework” is included, it can be used anywhere, so it may be used in business systems.
It is used especially in parts operated by users who do not want to cost the implementation.
There are also other things that can be used like .NET (dot net), such as C # .NET and ASP.NET.
Disadvantage of learning VB.NET
The way of programming is too distinguished
Unlike normal programming languages, because it is close to natural languages, there are merits that you can easily learn while understanding easily, but on the other hand, you can only develop applications in this language.
So, when studying other programming languages it has become a learning from scratch, and it contains the sword-like elements of two edges.
Moreover, because it lacks versatility, I made it a negative evaluation.

What is ExcelVBA
VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) is the programming language of Excel and other Office programs.
Features of Excel VBA
Anyone can start programming as soon as Excel is installed in the Windows PC. !
(Depending on the version of Excel, it is possible to install it on Mac)
Although there are difficulties in processing speed etc., it will be a very useful skill for doing work.
Benefits of learning Excel VBA
- It is easy to understand sensuously
- Can be used in practice
If you know how to use Excel’s basic functions you can easily understand what you are doing and what you can do.
In addition, actual you can create a business tool that automates the day-to-day business “daily tasks”, and or create apps running in full-fledged Excel-powered applications.
Disadvantage of learning Excel VBA
- Because it becomes a language-dependent on software such as Excel, it lacks versatility
- Since processing often becomes slow, there also may be better to make the same treatment in a different language
To be honest, it is difficult to make it a profitable work basis on ExcelVBA alone.
In addition, because it is not a general-purpose programming language, it really only serves as an entrance to doing work like a programmer.
Depending on how you write the code, basically the processing speed is slow, making it difficult to make full-fledged applications.

Note: there is a huge difference between C & C++ but they both got the same points in our evaluation that’s why they are grouped here

What is C / C++
- C++ is one of Google’s three major languages.
- C++ is an extension of the C language and other concepts called object oriented.
- C++ is basically upward compatible with C language, it can be said that it is the next stage after mastering C language.
Characteristics of C language / C ++
C language / C ++ is mainly used for what is called embedded system (home electronics, robot etc),is mainly used in the programming of simulation tool for research purpose, also used for programming consumer game (home game machine).
Lower class (a computer is easy to understand, conversely human difficult to understand) class called a low level language, it is very difficult for beginners.
However, because the processing speed is very fast, you can make a stress-free (fast-reacting) application .
Benefits of learning C language
- It is relatively difficult, but the basic power of programming is added accordingly
- You will be able to create applications with very fast behavior
However, because you can securely learn the basic use of and language computer (thinking), the range that can be used as a foundation of knowledge at the time of be learned it is wide.
Some programmer recently developed Android applications in C ++ because the processing is heavy when making Android applications in Java
It will be attractive to become able to create applications that can handle faster processing skills and even the environment!
C language / C ++ is adopted in many business systems (for example, securities trading system) which required real-time performance.
Disadvantage of learning C language
- Before you can master it is very easy to frustrate
- Tend to be high-difficulty understanding incomplete bug
From its name value (name recognition), it is C language that most people think that they will be frustrated if they start learning c (Especially C ++ is difficult)
The C language and C ++ can not be used unless you have a firm understanding of how the computer works.

What is C#
C# syntax is similar to the C language, and it is a language that is designed to write object-oriented processing more easily than C++.
Features of C#
In addition to the wide use in business it is often used in games programming.
Especially because it has been adopted in the game development tools that you are good at creating 3D games called “Unity”, it has become popular in applications that use the Unity.
Features:
- Automatic Garbage Collection
- Assembly Versioning
- Boolean Conditions
- Conditional Compilation
- Delegates and Events Management
- Standard Library
- Easy-to-use Generics
- Simple Multi-threading
- Integration with Windows
- Properties and Events
- Indexers
- LINQ and Lambda Expressions
what make C# a widely used programming language:
- It is a part of .Net Framework.
- It is easy to learn.
- It is object oriented.
- It produces efficient programs.
- It is a modern, general-purpose programming language
- It is a structured language.
- It is component oriented.
- It can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms.
The benefits of learning the C#
Easy to learn
Environment can be used in game development and libraries,(package of treatment)
are relatively large.
easy to learn object-oriented programming
because there is a relatively large, easy to continue to learn object-oriented while making the game.
By using the .NET environment, you can also develop applications for iOS / Android.
Disadvantage of learning C#
it’s use mostly in Windows
You can create various things such as games, but since C # creates only applications that run under Windows as a basic (if you use. NET, you can also create Mac applications) other than games, Versatile as is low.

What is Swift
“Swift” is a new programming language that has been announced by Apple in 2014.
Features of Swift
can created apps to be used in iOS (iPhone), Mac, Apple TV, Apple Watch, you will develop on Mac.
In the development of Apple products, “Objective-C” was often used, but it is steadily switching to Swift.
Features:
- There is no implicit type cast.
- It supports generics with requirements (i.e., C++ concepts). It’s a shame C++ concepts are not there yet.
- It has a simple yet familiar syntax. Many of the boilerplate are gone. That message passing interface is changed to function calls with C-syntax.
- Functions and closures are first-class types
- It has subscripts, that basically overrides the operator[]
- Pattern matching and enum cases (something very similar to “case classes” in Scala).
- It has lazy properties.
- Has built-in support for Optional and will prevent nil pointer deference in most cases.
- Extensions to existing types. I found it very similar to Scala implicit classes
- You can match anything in Switch/Case clauses.
Benefits of Introduction to Programming with Swift

Java is
“Java” is one of Google’s three major languages, it is highly versatile language and it does not depend on the OS of the computer.
Features of Java
Firm language is often employed in making large-scale business system .
Because it is a compiler language (it is used after creating a file to be executed after coding), it can process faster than the script language called PHP / Python / Ruby.
Moreover, it has the feature that it can be installed in any computer.
The benefits of learning the Java
- Knowledge of programming firmly
- Likely to be employed when creating large business
- Create Android applications in a standard way
You can get a good knowledge of object-oriented and generic language.
Engineers who have experience of Java as business also are welcomed easily, so we can make it an effective weapon!
It is used not only for WEB system but also for built-in system and smartphone (Android application) because of its versatility.
Java development costs a lot, but because processing speed is fairly fast, including hardware it is easy to maintain, so it can be said that it is a balanced type.
The disadvantage to learn Java
Learning cost is relatively high
Even if you make a system by yourself, it will not adopt, because you have to write a considerable amount of code. (Conversely, it is easy to adopt if you can spend money on a large-scale system.)
In the United States there is also data that projects growth of Java has become minus 30%, was made to be negative evaluation because of unclear points be evaluated as to the future now.
