Polyglot programming and design


Modern applications are complex to develop as they might have the following:

  • Service layer with a database for persistence ( SQL or NoSQL)
  • The UI code has to be responsive and calibrated for different form factor devices
  • The frontend code is mostly based on some kind of Single Page Architecture (SPA) architecture
  • In some cases, there can be desktop and mobile native frontends

A developer who has been hired for such a project should have the following skills:

  • Java, C#, PHP, Ruby, or Grails for writing service layers (skills in one or more)
  • For writing UI code, they should be familiar with CSS libraries and JavaScript (e.JQuery)
  • For web-based responsive frontend, TypeScript/JavaScript using Angular, ReactJs, or any other JavaScript-based framework
  • For writing desktop applications, the choices are C#, C++, Objective C/C++, Python, or Java
  • For mobile application development (native), choices are C#, Java, or Objective C/Swift

The bottom line here is that one should be comfortable...
