    Python would be a good choice, in my opinion. You would have at least some fun learning it. You may also find it useful for prototyping.

              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!

                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.

                    If you optimize your skills for "most job openings", you'll just be yet another fungible unit of human resource.

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

                            In job offers (at least the ones I know), usually it is NOT the primary programming language. As matter of fact, companies are using it more and more.

                                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).

                                          Yeah, its founders are ex-recruiters who realized the recruiting market is a scam. A recruiter doesn't want to match you to the company that best fits you, they want to match you to the company that pays them the best. And with fees ranging from 10k to 25k(!) that's no wonder. This platform was made with the developer in mind, instead of the employer or recruiter. Employers pay to have their job offers on the website and developers can respond to job offers or just browse. By asking a couple of technical questions they hope to keep out recruiters. I know every company that wants a profile is personally screened by the founders and if there's any doubt the company is a recruitment agency their request is denied. Companies are also forced to write very detailed job offers with a salary indication, so developers won't waste their time talking to companies that don't meet their needs. It's also strictly .NET, so you won't find Python, PHP, Java, or plumbers, accountants and other jobs that you'd find on a regular job site. It's really refreshing to see a platform that takes the developer's needs into account :D
