1.
Java
Java is a general-purpose, concurrent, class-based, object-oriented computer
programming language that is specifically designed to have as few
implementation dependencies as possible. It is intended to let application
developers "write once, run anywhere" (WORE), meaning that code that
runs on one platform does not need to be recompiled to run on another.
This cross-platform programming language is currently one of the most
sought-after programming skills for the developers.

2. C#
C# (pronounced see sharp) is a multi-paradigm programming language encompassing
strong typing, imperative, declarative, functional, procedural, generic,
object-oriented (class-based), and component-oriented programming disciplines.
It was developed by Microsoft within its .NET initiative and later approved as
a standard by Ecma (ECMA-334) and ISO (ISO/IEC 23270:2006). C# is one of the
programming languages designed for the Common Language Infrastructure.
Although it's used mainly on Windows, C# is designed as a cross-platform
language.

3. SQL
SQL (Structured Query Language) is a special-purpose programming language
designed for managing data held in a relational database management system
(RDBMS). The language has become a standard for the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) in 1986 and of the International Organization for Standards
(ISO) in 1987. Since then, most businesses and websites have databases that
work behind the scenes and many of those databases rely on SQL.

4. JavaScript
JavaScript is a part of the fabric of the Web. It is a multi-paradigm language,
supporting object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles. Its
an interpreted computer programming language and allows client-side scripts to
interact with the user, control the browser, communicate asynchronously, and
alter the document content that is displayed. It has also become common in
server-side programming, game development and the creation of desktop applications.
Almost every Web browser comprises a piece of JavaScript to make Web pages more
interactive among other things.

5. HTML
HTML is one of the fundamental technologies that the Web is built upon. HTML
elements form the building blocks of all websites. HTML allows images and
objects to be embedded and can be used to create interactive forms. It provides
a means to create structured documents by denoting structural semantics for
text such as headings, paragraphs, lists, links, quotes and other items. It can
embed scripts written in languages such as JavaScript which affect the behavior
of HTML web pages. These features will help developers and businesses better
engage with their customers.

6. C++
C++, developed by Bjarne Strousup in 1983, is an enhancement of the programming
language C. The addition of object-oriented programming has given this
high-level language some low-level capabilities making it a good multi-purpose
language capable of building stand-alone applications as well as reusable code.

7. XML
Extensible Markup Language, or XML, is a markup language used to define
document encoding that has gone on to become the default for many office
productivity suites. Where HTML is about how information is displayed, XML is
about transporting and storing data. The format is such that the code is
readable by both humans and machines.

8. C
C is arguably the most widely used and currently the most popular programming
language, according to the Tiobe Programming Community Index. A host of other
programming languages have borrowed from this general purpose language
including, C#, Python, Java PHP and Perl.

9. Perl
Larry Wall created Perl in 1987; it originally got its start as a general
purpose Unix scripting language. It has a hodge-podge of features from C, shell
script, AWK and sed that is designed to allow developers to work more easily
with text data.

10. Python
Python is high-level object-oriented programming language that developers can
use in many ways. Python is all about readability. It's uniform and streamlined
syntax allows programmers to build concepts more quickly and with less code.
