Elias Mukhtarzada Professor Miscavige ENGH 302-M06 Outline Analyzing the Pros and Cons of Popular Programming Languages: Which Language will be the Future of Programming? Introductory Paragraph (I might have to refine my introduction and make some necessary trims, but this is an idea of how it will start off)  In Information Technology, programming is an increasingly growing career for many people looking to pursue an occupation in the vast global job market.  There are numerous programming languages out in the world for any newcomer to learn, but the most prominent languages that usually come to mind are C, Python, Java, and etcetera.  The reason as to why programming languages like these are important is because a lot of the software that we take advantage of on any device we have access to on a daily basis is most likely programmed using these languages.  In addition, the idea of programming itself in the information technology field allows for endless opportunities for computers to automatically and efficiently complete tasks.  Most students who are looking forward to a career in programming may have their first taste of any of these languages in introductory programming courses in college.

 Regardless of what language programmers opt to learn and continue with as a profession some languages will stand the test of time for years to come, and some might fade into irrelevancy depending on the future trends in the programming scene.  However, with everything being said, every language has their own set of advantages and disadvantages, and many people certainly have their own preferences based on their experience and comfortability.  The intention of this literature review is to simply provide as much appropriate information to hopefully find some answer to the research question that is being posed.  The research question in this instance is “What will be the programming language of the future and what are the advantages and disadvantages of current popular programming languages?” Python (I will first discuss this subtopic in the first body paragraph by going over the significance/importance of Python, advantages, disadvantages, and the academic scores for students enrolled in Python courses)  What makes Python so significant when compared to rival languages? o Javed, A., Zaman, M., Uddin, M.

So far, based on my findings it seems as if Python comes out on top. C (This is the next subtopic that I will cover as I will go over the importance/significance of this language followed by the advantages, disadvantages, and academic performance of students enrolled in these courses)
