    As a developer, would it be beneficial to learn multiple programming languages / stacks or just stick to the one you know. Basically should one be a jack of all or a master of one ?

      I would master the language that you use the most and the framework that you use the most, i.e. C# and Winforms or C# and WPF etc. then I would move onto the next language that you have either a personal interest in or work uses and get that skill upto a decent level before mastering something else. Just my 2 cents on the topic.

          Learning multiple languages is essential... and quite frankly, not that big of a deal (after a while, you'll get a kick out of being able to spot similarities and differences). If you know the benefits and drawbacks of different languages, you can always pick out the appropriate one based on the task at hand. Also, when looking for jobs, you'll likely have an easier time if you have a good breadth of knowledge (i.e. don't put all your eggs in one basket).

            Ok, So the reason I asked this is because I am primarily a web developer using ASP.Net and C# as well as SQL for Sql Server, Javascript for good user interaction as well. I have also done windows forms programming, as well creating applications for the desktop like windows services. Apart from this, I have also done work on vba for Excel, Powerpoint and Access. Now, as part of my job I accept that I may have to learn new languages to get the work of clients done, but from a general point of view, is what I'm doing right ? The reason I ask, is because there are newer web technolgies from Microsoft, I havent had time to explore, like MVC and WCF, and I feel like I'm missing out on all of these.
