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)
-
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 like
QtScript, 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.
