In this era, where everything is going online and digital, technical know-how of the people is yet another skill that matters the most. When we consider the term “Technical Knowhow”, we need to understand that it is a broader term and includes other aspects as well. One such sub-division or aspect of this term is “Programming” (often referred to as “Coding”)
When we hear the term programming, the first thing that comes to our mind is various languages that are associated with the computer.

However, knowing all the computer languages doesn’t mean one is a good and skilled programmer. Skills and aptitude matter the most in order to become a great programmer. Technically, programmers are those people who have the knack of one or more languages (associated with the computer) and can create successful web applications and similar products.

One need not join professional coaching classes or renowned institutes to learn to code. Since everything is going online these days, programming can be quite easily learned through various websites and now even apps too 🙂 Though, in order to run and execute programmes, you need to have a compiler which is not possible on Android devices.

Keeping in mind, the fact that there is a very limited number of programming apps available for Android that are not very much famous, we have presented below the list of 7 best free programming apps for Android devices that include all the possible programming languages.
