What's This?
Most of us are familiar with C, C++, JAVA and Python etc., but as you go into this field,
you will realize the value and amount of money that can be earned with some other
languages.
pdfcrowd.com
The favorite coding language debate is one of the hottest topics of discussion among
the coders and programmer has his/her own reasons to defend a particular language.
Last year the average salary of a computer programmer inched towards an all-time
high of $100,000.
There are some languages which make your skill set more valuable and Quartz has
compiled all this data and based on a study from the Brookings Institution, it has
created a list of the highest paying computer programming languages.

These are the highest paying computer programming languages ranked by salary:
pdfcrowd.com
If you love to play with codes and you are having full command over some of these
computer programming languages, you can earn around $100,000. You should learn
more diverse languages and focus on your strengths if you want one of the highest
paying jobs in tech.

Youtube is written in Python. Facebook uses a home-grown language called Hack which is derived
from PHP, but that isn't pure PHP. It's actually not as common among major sites as people seem

php is in general is scripting language 4 server side (as all of u already know) but sometime is use in
some programming.if u are in web hosting php is necessary. for programming it's definitely an
advantage to know php.
correct me if im wrong..(juz a beginner).

No worries. C++ is still the MOST of the MOST. It's ALL those languages are BASED, well almost likely
to say. It doesn't mean that when a new language is born, programmers must quit the habit.
Mastering a language is the MOST IMPORTANT trait a programmer must posses.

Did you seriously just infer that HTML and CSS and "Unix" were programming languages? If you think
that HTML/CSS/ and "Unix" (which I think you mean "shell scripting", not "Unix") are programming
languages, then you probably don't know any of these.
