Software engineers design, develop, and code complex computer programs and systems. They are skilled in programming languages specific to the type of program they are working on. For example, C++ and Python are widely used for both scientific and business applications while Java, JavaScript, C#, and PHP are popular programming languages for web and business applications.
Software engineers generally know more than one programming language and can learn new languages relatively easily. Finding software engineers with the right combination of skills relative to the job is critical for the project’s success.
