When you try to get a job as a Python programmer with my company you will probably be laughed at, sorry :-\
Thanks. Glad to know that. That languages do you use at your company?

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.

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
Thanks. do you know anybody who is looking for a Python programmer?

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.

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!
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.

You could learn Python; or you could learn a programming language.

Having done a few things with Python as a hobby my biggest concern with using it professionally would be with the quality of code I would encounter. Python seems to be very much a language picked up by people who have not necessarily got the understanding and discipline of software development. It doesn't seem to generally be a language that software developers chose but more one that scientists choose and for that reason I would tend to avoid working with it - hopefully someone can prove me wrong here. Maybe that makes me a software development snob...

C#, (T-)SQL and HTML/CSS (and JavaScript?) should get you more jobs than you'd ever want. It's what I use in my company and I know at least four other local companies that use it too (and I live in a small countryside village). And all are desperately looking for people. When you go up to the large Dutch cities like Rotterdam, The Hague, Amsterdam or Utrecht, there's a virtually limitless supply of jobs requiring those exact languages. I know this (Dutch) website, https://werkenmet.net[^], which has only .NET job offers (and no recruiters) and it has 344 job offers, but there are a lot more out there. Of course you'd have to move to The Netherlands, but I can't imagine those languages aren't used in the USA. Trust me, if you know those languages it's not about learning a new one, it's about picking up the phone, calling the company you want to work for and scheduling a meeting. In The Netherlands there's such a shortage of workers that you'd have to shit on your future boss' desk to be rejected (and even then they may hire you and just get a new desk).
