After going through some videos about the most popular languages and bouncing that list off of what I am currently studying, those being VBA, C# and Python it looks like I am missing the most important one and that is JavaScript. Each and every website, book, article and even YouTube videos sited JavaScript as the number one language to have on your plate of languages. I guess that means adding this to the list and finding an IDE to use. I typed that without looking and I can use Visual Studio for JavaScript as well as C#. I can use the same IDE for Python but prefer to use IntelliJ for working with Python.

My list of Languages in alphabetical order
C#
JavaScript
Python
VBA

The VBA is for Excel/Word/Outlook macros and not necessarily for full blown applications. I may at a point in time add VBA.net to the work, for now I’ll stick with those four.

Do you every wonder why there needs to be so many languages? Why couldn’t one language just evolve to be a representative of what we do today. Back in the day me and Glenn used Basic and it was more than adequate for what we were doing or what anybody would want to do back then or now. You could have easily created key words for Fortran functions or Cobol functions etc. without creating a completely new language, just my opinion mind you.

Back to JavaScript, it just happened when I logged onto Udemy.com and searched for JavaScript courses I was given a plethora of courses I could take for free. I have never seen a course on Udemy for free since I started enrolling in courses with them. The first I am taking is JavaScript Essentials. The course is comprised of 41 lectures at 8.5 hrs. I have watched nine lectures and am very impressed with this instructors approach to teaching.
