Revatec Rookie, a job hunting support agent for new graduates specializing in IT engineers operated by Revatec Co., Ltd., conducted a trend survey of programming languages for 2023 engineer job hunters scheduled to join the company in 214.
According to the survey, about 2022% of the students who are planning to join the company in 2023 answered that they learned programming for the first time at the university, which is almost the same as the survey for new graduates in 85 conducted the previous year.As with the survey last year (for new graduates in 2022), the most common programming languages studied while in school were "C / C ++ (62.0%)", followed by "Python (54.6%)" and "Java (42.9%)". ) ”.
The most common way to learn programming languages was "take a school course (58.9%)".This was followed by "reading books (52.1%)", "viewing technical blogs (41.1%)", "viewing video sites such as YouTube (36.2%)", and "viewing IT and tech articles (33.7%)". ..It seems that most students are already learning programming in classes and books, and at least one in three students refer to articles, blogs, You Tube and other social media published on the Web for programming. It became clear that they were learning.
In addition, one in four people is learning programming with "online teaching materials", and in last year's survey, it was one in five people, so the online programming learning service at Corona is aiming to be an engineer. It is possible that they are becoming more familiar to students.
When asked about the programming language they would like to learn in the future, the most common answer was "JavaScript (42.1%)".Next are "Python (40.7%)", "PHP (36.0%)" and "Java (26.2%)". "JavaScript" is easier to set up a development environment than other languages, and because it is a language used all over the world, it is popular among job hunters every year. "Python" is a programming language that is attracting worldwide attention in the field of data signs represented by AI and machine learning, and it is expected that "Python" will continue to be popular among active students in the future.
On the other hand, according to the new graduate engineer recruitment survey for companies announced in May 2021, "Java (5%)" was the top programming language that companies want to learn by the time they join the company.Since there is a discrepancy with the programming language that students who want to become engineers want to learn, it is thought that students who want to become engineers in the future need to understand the needs of the market before proceeding with programming learning.
With the "Revision of the Course of Study" established by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, programming education has become compulsory in elementary schools, so it is expected that the age at which programming learning will begin will become even younger in the future.In addition, the promotion of DX in the world due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection is also expected to support the younger age of programming learning in the future.
