      My favourite programming language is Python. I also use R, which is a programming language suited for maths/statistics and biology. But if I could do everything in Python I would!

      If you want to learn one, I would recommend looking at the w3schools website, it was really helpful when I was learning.

      I mainly use Python now, although it’s really handy to know some SQL too if you work a lot with data. I’ve used lots of languages during my career – C, C++, Java, go, and others.

      Once you’ve learnt the principles of how to solve problems in one language, it’s not too hard to change to another. Practice makes perfect so choose a language and start coding… it’s fun!

      I use specific industrial programming languages used in PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) e.g. Ladder Logic, Sequential Function Charts, Function Block, Structured Text plus the odd bit of VBA.

      Ladder Logic is my favourite as it’s very graphical and follows a similar layout as electrical drawings.

    I enjoy programming with Python as it is so versatile, it is great for automating tasks that you may normally find boring to do, whether that be filling in excel spreadsheets or even opening programs automatically.
