Top Three Programming Languages: What And Why.

In this modern world, programming can't be avoided. People want to make their job as easy as possible, and the fastest way to do so is by utilizing a program specifically designed to help their job. To make it, we can pick one programming language among many. There are languages designed for web programming, and there are languages designed for application programming, but what's the most popular programming language on the world? Here they are:

1. PHP

Veryyyy obvious. It's fast and simple. Almost all popular websites are using this language. Compatible with popular database types (such as MySQL or SQL Server), making it's untouchable for web programming. I don't think even ASP.NET from Microsoft could compete with this PHP.

2. Visual Basic .NET

My favorite programming language was VB 6. But then, my company want to migrate to newer platform, so I have no choice but to re-learn everything from scratch. This VB .NET carries along its predecessor powers such as intuitive yet unobtrusive GUI and OOP as well.

3. Java

Cross platform capability is this programming language's main strength. Java can be found almost everywhere, on your PDA, on your computer etc... Java is also popular because it's free., unlike VB NET which needs license to be used. However, lack of good IDE like VB's makes it a little bit behind for application programming language. The web version of Java, JSP is still popular, though.

I could also expand this to top five list. If it was, I'd have included Delphi and C. :) Deplhi has a very good user interface while C is... well... the mother of all language. But oh... maybe Pascal too? :D
