What programming languages are most in-demand for trading and how do I get started?

AI Summary

I've been interested in trading for a while now, and I've recently realized that having some programming skills could really give me an edge. I've been trying to learn more about the different programming languages that are used in trading, but I'm getting a bit overwhelmed by all the options. I've heard that languages like Python, Java, and C++ are popular in the trading world, but I'm not sure which one to focus on.

I have a bit of experience with programming, but it's mostly been in a academic setting. I'm looking to start applying my skills to real-world problems, and trading seems like a really interesting and challenging area to get into. I've been doing some research and I've come across platforms like QuantConnect and Zipline, which seem like they could be really useful for backtesting and executing trades.

I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on how to get started with programming for trading. Should I focus on learning one language in particular, or try to get a broad understanding of several languages? Are there any resources or communities that I should check out to learn more about trading and programming? What are some common pitfalls or mistakes that I should avoid as a beginner?
