Learning new language ?!
-
Recent days, I have big confusion with learning another new language for recent project. I already know C# and Ruby in addition with I am learning JAVA and Data structures & Algorithms. But, now I am being assigned to learn PHP for new project in my company. Seriously, I don't know the management thought about my carrier. My question is.. is my company good to work? Is it worth to learn another language which is called as PHP? will I face any problem while attending job interview?(periodically, I am shifting from one language to another) Thanks --SJ

How could we answer that, we know nothing about it?

It depends what direction you want to take in your career.

Only if you can't answer the interviewer's questions.

It certainly can't hurt to learn another language, especially one that is as popular as PHP. A good IDE can really help. I tried a few until settling on Komodo. Additionally, PHP has been around for a long time, so there is an abundance of PHP documentation, examples, and open source projects to help you. Really, it's just another ugly looking scripting language. Good luck with it! :)

Learning a new language shouldn't be a problem. Specially it's from the same family of C... After you will learn a few languages, you will learn that language isn't rally matter in development, as it's only a tool of implementation of ideas... I can't see how the proven knowledge of an other programming language can hurt your chances in a job interview...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

More important that the languages are the frameworks behind them. While having a basic knowledge of the syntax of many languages is a "plus", a profound professional knowledge of one framework is a "must".

Hello friend, Firstly,

There is no end to learning. You wont be able to ever dig deep into the CLR. What ever you learn is less. Secondly,

If you dont know C# well, and you are learning too many things, just remember you are landing your self into a mess. These things will make you a jack of all trades. No one wants such a person. By saying you already know C#, you are already into a deeper mess. Thirdly,

No company is bad, unless it pays you well and on time. However they will require many things from you, it depends upon you, how you shape your career

It is worth. Every thing and any thing you get to learn is a boon. It becomes a bane if you leave it half cooked.

Yes you will face problems, because your knowledge about any language wont be complete. Try to understand one thing, thousands of people know a language, but a few have a good hand on both technology and language. So first isolate your self in terms of language and technology. Dedicate a few hours at home. Finish that language and technology first. After that switch to something else. But in the office you will have to do what ever is told to you, unless you find a job of your taste my friend. Thanks a ton, -Rahul

Every thing depends on your interest, if your interest is in C# i.e. if your career before was in C# and Ruby and is now being deflected from the path you wanted it to be, in this case i would suggest you to practice C#/Ruby (Spend some time irrespective of the current project). This would be helpful for your interviews.

If you are being asked to work on a different language, you can work on it but giving higher priority to your interest / career path. However working on different languages/domain does not make your company bad. Remember one thing : Every thing is market driven. Your company will do what ever it has to for executing the projects (i.e learning new languages, new domains. If it is a service based company. I don't have an idea of a product based company)

A practical thing is that no person can be a master of all (unless you have a vast experience). I would say focus on one language. But as the company demands work on others as well. So as i said, no company is bad unless it offers you a reasonable salary and the work being given is aligned with the market. I have been working in both development and testing projects for the past 5 to 6 years. All depends on market as i already said. Best of luck

Why are you posting new responses to such ancient threads? Do you really think CodeNinja-C# is still waiting for input nearly THREE YEARS later? The three responses you posted last week were also to incredibly old threads.

I have Java, css knowledge and wanted to learn C++ but quite confused where to start. Previously I used to take online lesson from eduhelphub.com and looking for the suggesting for learning new language.
