Languages most current Jobs require.
-
I am currently trying to learn a new language. I am proficient in VB.NET, C#, SQL, and T-SQL. I'm familiar with HTML and CSS. According to the TIOBE Index, and the PYPL index Python is the leading language. Is this your experience? As I am currently looking for a new Job, is this, in your opinion the most required Job opening requirements? If not, what language would recommend? :confused: BTW I have come across Required languages that I have never heard of before, on Code Project or anywhere else!

That's most used languages according to some search-engines, and PYPL which says "The more a language tutorial is searched, the more popular the language is assumed to be." Yeah, that assumption says little about what is commercially desirable. If you want to know what is commercially desirable, you look at vacancies in your locale. What work is there, which languages do they require? Just toss 'em in a spreadsheet. There's people still looking for VB6 programmers; that's a language you should defenitely not learn! Lots of .NET here, roughly 70% C# and 30% VB.NET. Some weirdos do Java - but that's about 96% of the market already. Instead of learning something new, how about learning more about those that you know and are widely used? PL/SQL isn't going to help you forward. Understanding a database on a deeper level would. If I have to throw something in that mix, it'd be RegExes. Nothing more.

Both of those look at search engines, not at job openings specifically. It's used by idiots to write articles about which language is trending, which leads to nonsense-articles in the daily news, which then leads to the dark side. Uni's use simpler languages to teach concepts, Open source projects use whatever is available, servers, smartphones, websites and rich UI all thrown in a single basket. And you look to that, for job openings? Open your local gazette and write the languages down. If you already seen C# mentioned before, turf it. Use a spreadsheet, but that says more about what is requested in your locale than some average search engine test that cannot really explain "what" it is indexing. Just a hint that they "may" be popular; yeah, or extremely tedious instead of widely used. Learning PL/SQL isn't going to make any difference - you'll learn that different dialect easily when needed. Python? Well, none asks for that where I live. VB6, unfortunately, they do, wich is something you really MUST NOT LEARN. Java is popular due to universities. Those lefties don't do commercial shit and those students search a lot. Still, you find Java more in the real world than Python. If I need to add to your list, I'd say RegExes.

Kent would point you to this which he just posted. The Insider News[^]
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
Thank you. I felt that this was the case, and I appreciate you confirming it.

Too Late! I have been working in VB6 since it first came out. If you run across any postings, please shoot them to me. I really need to find a paying job soon.

Pythonwould be a good choice, in my opinion. You would have at least some fun learning it. You may also find it useful for prototyping."In testa che avete, Signor di Ceprano?" -- Rigoletto

I know, right? Though now he also says he'd rather I were an analyst than a developer. I need to find a new project.

Learn to sell yourself; not some language.

Are Python jobs usually the sole/primary language for a position or is it something used occasionally? I've never tried it. I have been using PowerBuilder since 1994 but also use C++ in simple non visual apps.

Don't select a language based on how difficult it is to learn. :wtf:

I have to admit our company is quite specialized in video surveillance systems, we mostly use C#, C++ and SQL.
