There are a lot of diverse Computer languages, that allow computer specialist and coders to design, implement and operate a computer system.

In geomatics, 5 languages ​​are often used:

• SQL: building database queries
• PYTHON: script programming on GIS software (notably QGIS, FME, Mapinfo)
• JAVAJAVA: object-oriented programming for mobile application mainly)
• HTML/CSS/PHP/JAVASCRIPT: web programming
• C/C++: Microcontroller Programming (used for instance on all MathLab modules)

However, many other computings languages ​​exist and may be used in geomatics in the future.

Example:

• Microsoft Office recently launched a cartographic visualization from data in an Excel table. It is possible that VBA will be more used in ths future.
• Also lesser-known languages ​​likeQtScript, which offers widget components, data access, network connections, XML parsing, etc. Today its features are very popular for Web development. Geoweb may be concerned very soon.
• Or the GLSL, a language that allows an approach of 3D modeling.
