What programming languages do you prefer to work with and why?
This is an opening question which the interviewer will ask to begin the conversation, learn more about your background, and collect information they can use throughout the interview. This provides you the opportunity to direct the interview to the subject area that you're most familiar with. Your answer should address the programming languages that the organization currently uses.
"The programming languages I prefer to work with include Python, PHP, and HTML5. I prefer these because they are object-oriented, use plain language, and have robust code libraries that I can reuse. Since these are common languages currently used in the industry, it makes it easier to collaborate with other programmers."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

The programming languages that I prefer to work with are Python, HTML, CSS, Java, and JavaScript. I prefer these languages because they are object-oriented and have a large library that can be reused. Since these are common languages currently being used in the industry, it makes it easier to collaborate with other programmers.
