Python? For what ffs? You're dangerous enough already.

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.

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
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:

Thanks. Glad to know that. That languages do you use at your company?

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

English is probably the leading language! ;P

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

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.

+100! Most of the "popular languages" lists are worthless. Look at local job postings to see what languages are desired locally. The popularity of languages can be very local -- some years back the city I live in had a lot of listings for SQL Server, but none for Oracle. Another city 100 miles away was the reverse. Regarding Python? I don't know a single person who is using it professionally. There has been a lot of buzz around Python for several years, which prompts a lot of searches regarding Python, which pops it higher in the index, which does NOT necessarily produce more Python jobs ...

:laugh: Visual Basic is a fine language, as good as any and better than many. Crap programs can be written in any language, and the garbage I've been exposed to in Java and C# programs, written by folks that have no clue what OO is, is legion. That said, I don't recommend VB6, as it's a dead language. There are many positions for VB -- it's in the top 20 in most lists -- but they are mostly legacy positions, supporting ancient code. I recently retired an application originally written in VS97/C++ (v5?), and it was a relief!

I represent that. There are languages, going back to BASIC, intended to be easy to learn and do a few simple things. Python is one of the latest of them. My father was an electronics engineer, but he was able to use BASIC to make some tables of figures he needed. That's about all he needed a programming language to do. I have seen newer versions of BASIC (VAX BASIC and Visual Basic) used for largish applications, but they weren't very good. The designers and developers didn't seem to have the proper mindset.
