What better way to kick off Autumn than by learning something new. The ability to be able to code is becoming an essential skill for success in an ever-digital world. Whether you’re building simple websites and apps or coding complex data analytics tools – programming languages are becoming the new universal means of creative conversation we should all have in our digital survival toolkit. So, to help get your coding fingers warmed up in the Autumn months of 2017, TalkIT has put together a few handy blogs answering some all-important questions both coding newbies and experienced developers are often found pondering over. Our Autumn newsletter will revisit these popular blogs. Welcome to the latest news from TalkIT.

What programming languages to learn in 2017?
Much like flared jeans and shell suits, programming languages can go in and out of fashion over time (and let’s face it, some should have never been allowed to exist in the first place). This can make it difficult to know which will be the most useful one to learn. The usefulness of a language can also vary depending on what it’s being used for – for example in gaming versus web development. As David explains in the blog, it’s difficult to make an accurate prediction for which language will power ahead in the next year. Nonetheless, he has some top tips to help you to decide for yourself whether a language is worth your time or whether it has a surefire expiration date.
