Three Important Development Languages For Your Career

In this episode of three things for improving your career, we look at important development languages.  This is not a look at a primary language.  There are a few good options, and the best will depend on your situation as well as where you live.  These will provide you more tools for solving problems while enhancing your resume in crucial areas.
Javascript Frameworks (React or Angular) Javascript has grown into a language that is used in a lot of development.  There are even situations where a javascript framework can create an entire solution.  There are several frameworks available.  However, the good news is that once you learn one, the others will be comfortable to use as well.  The popularity of React and Angular makes each of them an excellent place to start.

Swift The use of Swift for native Apple applications makes it one of the most important development languages for that platform.  There are other ways to create those applications.  However, Swift provides a lot of power and is not too hard to learn.  The swift language is based on objective-C.  It is object-oriented and provides a lot of library features to help you solve common problems.  Swift is a language that is substantially different from C-Sharp, Java, PHP, and other popular development languages.  That makes it excellent for expanding your coding skills as well as a valuable one on your resume.
Python We see a lot of javascript filtering into platforms like NetSuite, Salesforce, and many others.  This situation leads to developers learning javascript to solve specialized, non-solution, problems.  Python is one of our important development languages for the same reason.  There are a lot of powerful libraries and tools that are driven by this language.  An example that jumps to mind is the scraping tool, Scrapy.  There is a lot of power in that tool, and you can find similar results with serverless solutions.  The low overhead and ability to quickly create useful code has made this an excellent language for a broad range of tasks, utilities, and applications.
