There's no specific degree path for desktop developers. Plenty of software engineers don't even have degrees. Many job listings in the field ask only for a four-year degree or that vague qualification: "equivalent experience." That doesn't mean, however, that you can safely decide not to pursue higher education in favor of completing a coding boot camp or two. It's true that two-thirds of working developers are self-taught and that there are lots of free resources for aspiring developers online. Even so, learning to code is no guarantee that you'll find someone willing to take you on. One of the windfalls of college is that you'll build a network of peers and mentors who can help you find work. The best way to get a feel for what level of education is needed to become a desktop developer (along with other qualifications and certifications) is to read lots of job listings. Most employers are looking for candidates with a bachelor’s degree in computer science or master’s degree in computer science, engineering, mathematics, or a related discipline. A computer science program that emphasizes programming is probably your best bet. You'll need the degree to get hired, and you'll need the ability to code to do your job. A formal education that includes a solid foundation in how computers function and programming principles—along with coursework related to project management, design, databases, and marketing—can help you launch your career on solid footing. Best programming languages for desktop developers There is no one best programming language for desktop developers. Different languages are better for different target desktops and application requirements. Some common languages desktop developers use are: Objective-C Cocoa Swift C# JavaFX C/C++ QT Python Ruby Vala with GTK+
