Now that you know difference between a computer programming and web development, it is time to learn about them individually. By doing so, we’ll get to know which programming language is use in building specific apps.

Computer programming languages: There are over eight thousand (8,000) computer programming languages. Not every programming language you know men for every web app or mobile you see or uses.

Some languages are for web app (website), while some are for mobile applications, then we also have the ones for flash drive as well.

So for that reason you should learn according to what you want to build in the future. We have HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP. These ones are used for building website (web app).

Note: HTML and CSS are really not programming languages. Hypertext markup language (html), it is use for markup of the website structure. In the other hand CSS is cascading style sheet, use for coloring and other designs of the website.

JavaScript is use for making flash display and auto webpage refresh. It can be also use for building “what you see is what you get” (WYSIWYG) text editor.

Lastly, PHP helps you carry out your website database work, storing up information and fetching out users data and a lot more.

Still on programming languages, if you want to go into building of mobile app, then you should learn Java language, python or ruby.
