Hi all..welcome back...i hope you all find my blog site exciting and informative.

Today I just want to give a list of 10 programming languages which, according to eweek magazine,are bonus for developers to add to their resumes

1. PHP

An open-source, interpretive, server-side, cross-platform, HTML scripting language, especially well-suited for Web development as it can be embedded into HTML pages

2. C#

A general-purpose, compiled, object-oriented programming language developed by Microsoft as part of its .NET initiative, it evolved from C and C++

3.AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML)

Though technically not a programming language, AJAX uses XHTML or HTML, JavaScript and XML to create interactive Web applications. Ever since Google Maps put AJAX, well, on the map, the requests for AJAX-knowledgeable pros went through the roof

4.JavaScript

Not to be confused with Java, JavaScript is a an object-oriented, scripting programming language that runs in the Web browser on the client side. It's smaller than Java, with a simplified set of commands, easier to code and doesn't have to be compiled.

5.Perl

Perl is an open-source, cross-platform, server-side interpretive programming language used extensively to process text through CGI programs.

6.C

"Learning C is crucial. Once you learn C, making the jump to Java or C# is fairly easy, because a lot of the syntax is common

7. Ruby and Ruby on Rails

Ruby is a dynamic, object-oriented, open-source programming language; Ruby on Rails is an open-source Web application framework written in Ruby that closely follows the MVC (Model-View-Controller) architecture.

8. Java

An object-oriented programming language developed by James Gosling and colleagues at Sun Microsystems in the early 1990s. Java is a "beautiful" language, it is central to the non-.Net programming experience.

9. Python

An interpreted, dynamically object-oriented, open-source programming language that utilizes automatic memory management.

10. VB.Net (Visual Basic .Net)

An object-oriented language implemented on Microsoft's .Net framework.Most argue that VB.Net is currently more popular than ever and one of the only "must-learns." "It is currently dominating in adoption and that is where all the work is," said Huckaby.
