Script development
Applications and Program development

Application and program development involves programs you work with on a daily basis. For example, the Internet browser you are using to view this web page is considered a program. If you are interested in writing your own programs, you should consider the following languages.

C
C#
C++
D
Java
Tcl
Visual Basic

Artificial Intelligence development

Artificial Intelligence or related fields involve creating the character interactions in computer games, portions of programs that make decisions, chatbots, and more. If you're interested in writing your own AI, you should consider the following languages.

AIML
