Top three programming languages for kids

The top three programming languages that have been trending and will be the best choice to learn in 2021 for kids are

1. Python
2. Java
3. Javascript

Python 

The language is easy to learn and offers a clean and well-structured code, making it the most liked programming language of all time.

YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest, and SurveyMonkey are all built on Python. 

Python can be used for web and desktop applications, machine learning, AI projects, and research. Python provides excellent library support and has a large developer community. For instance, Python offers Django and Flask, popular libraries for web development, and TensorFlow, Keras, and SciPy for data science applications. 

Python provides a great starting point for beginners.

Java

Java is celebrating its 25th birthday this year and has been one of the most popular programming languages used for developing enterprise software applications. Java programs are more structured in comparison to languages like Python.

Uber, Airbnb, Twitter, and nearly 90 percent of Fortune 500 firms use Java in their tech stack. 

Java is used in developing native Android apps. For anyone interested in mobile development focusing on building native Android apps, then learning Java makes a lot of sense.

Java does not require a specific hardware infrastructure, is easily manageable, and has a good level of security. It is easier to learn Java in comparison to languages such as C and C++ and there is huge community support.

JavaScript 

Javascript is the “front end” programming language. JavaScript is widely used to design interactive front-end applications. Although JavaScript is dominating the front-end development scene, it is also used heavily in building the back-end using frameworks. It works exceptionally well with other programming languages.

Google, Facebook, Uber, Netflix, Paypal, and several startups are heavily invested in JavaScript.

There are plenty of high-quality frameworks that are written in JavaScript like React, Vue, Angular, React Native that are used widely to create modern front-end applications.

JavaScript is a beginner-friendly language and developers who jump into JavaScript, tend to love it.
