Welcome back! Software engineering is one of the biggest fields when it comes down to programming, if you’re a beginner to software engineering it can be extremely useful to know some of the best languages to learn for this field. To be honest, programming is always one aspect of software engineering, there are many softwares / technologies / packages you must know as well, but learning these languages can help you to become a software engineer.

C / C++ / C#

Starting off let’s talk about C / C++ and C#, these are definitely some of the most popular languages any software engineer should know. These are all object oriented languages, almost every single software engineering job i’ve seen required a combination of these languages. C is one of the older languages, it is an object oriented language that can build operating systems, GUI’s, applications and so much more. C++ is a bit of an extension to C, it allows alot of the same functionality, alot of companies utilize it and it’s still an extremely popular language. C# is a programming language develop by Microsoft, it’s also an object oriented language that is very important in the software engineering field.
