Top 5 Programming Languages for Kids in 2022
The following programming languages are among the best programming languages for children to begin their journey into coding.
- Python
- Scratch
- HTML
- Java
- Ruby
These programming languages have their own significance in the tech world. Personally, I would recommend Scratch as a basis for understanding technology and programming for kids below 13 years of age. Kids above the age of 13 years can also experiment their interests through Scratch too.
After understanding of those concepts, the kids can learn Python programming language. Python is commonly used for developing websites and software, task automation, data analysis, and data visualization.
To start Web development, I would recommend HTML for front-end development (client side programming). For back-end development of websites, either Python or Java can be used. But today’s trend and popular stack both for front and back-end programming is MEAN — MongoDB, Express, Angular and NodeJS.
For Application development, the kids have two choices regarding the operating system for their apps — Android or Apple. For Both, Flutter is the best choice.
Android — Java and Kotlin
Apple — Swift
There are various online websites and apps free and paid through which kids can learn these programming languages. Many online boot camps are organized all over the world. There are coding schools, both online and offline. Some of them are whitehat jr, codekaroyaaro, etc. These coding schools provide online one-to-one live sessions too.
Please choose the platform in which the kids show best interests, not what will suit them the best in their future.
