Best Programming Languages To Learn as an Automation Engineer/Tester SDET
When you are first starting out in your automation engineer career you may be overwhelmed about what programming language you should learn to code in. You may be getting pulled in a million directions, and every article that you read talks about the newest and coolest programming languages to code in.
This article will talk about the 3 coding languages you should learn to jump-start your coding career in automation. All 3 of these coding languages are object-oriented programming languages(OOP). There are many benefits to OOP such as the languages allow you to break the program into the bit-sized problems that can be solved easily and better quality of software with lesser maintenance cost. You do not have to learn all 3 at one time. Focus on one, they all have the same general concepts and ideas.
Once you learn one you can carry over the ideas from that to the other languages and just google the exact syntax for that language. Normally, job interviews will let you code in whatever object-oriented programming language you are most comfortable with because they care more about your thought process and logic. The syntax and small details of the language that the company uses, if it isn’t the one you are most familiar with, you can learn while you are on the job.
