It is important to be aware of the latest technologies to make future paths hurdle-free and easy.

The list of technologies can go on and on, but we have extracted the top 4 major coding languages that are defining the kingdom of software development and have the ability to shape the future. Just take a look.

One of the most popular and highly used coding languages is Python. It is a high-level language used for mobile app development, website development, graphical user interfaces and machine learning. Python is a powerful coding language that can be used to create outstanding desktop and Android apps. Just to give you a small hint of how popular and powerful this coding language is, well-known apps and websites such as Google, Facebook, YouTube, Dropbox, Reddit, Instagram, BitTorrent, etc. use the language. Since this language has multiple uses in real life, it will continue as the most preferred coding language for software development services.

Another popular and major coding language used for software and app development is Java. In fact, this was the most highly searched language on Google all over the world last year. When it comes to uses, Java is used in Android apps, web apps, websites, server apps, big data technology, embedded space, scientific apps and games. Apart from this, every Android operating system is written in this coding language. This means, if anyone learns this language, they will be able to develop all types of Android apps. This thing will put them on the driving seat as they will have a control over the future of web and app technology. Java is considered as the most suitable language for mobile app development because it can run on various platforms. Mobile app and software development services in Canada also use this future-ready language to create powerful apps.

Hypertext Pre-Processor, better known as PHP, is a server-side scripting language. Introduced by Zend Technologies in 1995, this language was developed for web development. Besides, server-side scripting, PHP is used for coding applications and line scripting. One can create dynamic websites, iOS and Android applications in PHP. In case you are not aware, some popular websites that you visit regularly like Yahoo, Facebook, Wikipedia, Tumblr and several others are coded in PHP.

You can learn this language and maybe create the next big and popular app in PHP, who knows. The uses of PHP is not limited to apps only, it can be used for a whole lot of other development such as e-commerce websites, graphical user interfaces, content management systems (CMS) such as Drupal and WordPress and many more. These are some reasons why providers of custom software development services use PHP. The way the language is getting popular among developers, it will surely have a direct impact on the future of web and app development.

This coding language has the potential to shape the future of web and mobile app development. Apple launched this language in June 2015 for Linux and iOS. This is the language used for iOS and OS X apps. Swift is easy-to-learn if you are familiar with Objective-C. It is an open source and requires less coding as compared to other coding languages.

You can understand the level of popularity of this language with the demand of Swift app developers having increased almost 600% in the last few years. This factor is enough to explain why this language is capable of shaping the future of apps technology. Many countries like the US offer highest average salaries to Swift developers. In next few years, the demand for Swift applications will skyrocket. One of the best examples of Swift apps is SlideShare iOS application. This app is completely built in Swift. Undeniably, Swift is a new language, but anyone who will have hands-on experience will surely have added advantage in the future.
