"Most of my application development work has been done using Java, JavaScript, and HTML5. However, I've also worked with PHP, Corona, Objective-C, and Kotlin. Recently, I've taken the initiative to learn Python and Ruby and have developed several applications using these languages. I'm becoming partial to Python and Ruby due to their simple language and the proliferation of user-developed modules and libraries, which help me to accelerate the development process and yield more efficient code."

This is a very straightforward question designed to determine your qualifications for the job. The interviewer also seeks to confirm that you are familiar with the programming languages used by the organization. The potential trap posed by this question is the temptation to exaggerate your skills in the programming languages you name. You should expect follow-up questions aimed at further qualifying your experience with and knowledge of the key languages used by the company. Answer this question directly and honestly, and be prepared to provide details.
