    it's not so much "C#" as it's a Microsoft Language that's better than vb. purely on flexibility / replacement of the actual resource. Linq is fail - it's purely a marketing tool so that people dont revert back to unix databases with 'ease" ina few years time, When costs of operations becomes a factor. Microsoft skills will always be in abundants on the recruitment market - because most companies prefer standardization -> Microsoft's way. I've got 25 languages behind my back - yet when i enter a new project / team - i get the "Do you follow Microsoft's coding convention" - then i remove the icepick from my briefcase ...

    Yeee :cool:

      Nowadays I use a layout program and then let some company etch them. Next little project will be a modernized version of my old computer with a small LCD graphics display, PS2 ports for mouse and keyboard, huge 1 meg RAM / ROM and a simple IDE interface. No more hex keyboard and no more LED displays.

      Pretty ambitious project. I've been thinking of getting a board made but a friend was supposed to be helping me financially in a project we've been talking about doing for years and hasn't and I can't afford it myself. I created a proof of concept but it's that a proof of concept. What Company do you use to make your boards?

      Here you get one or two boards made for as low as 10 bucks each and all I need for hobby purposes. What is it you want to do and how many boards would you have made?

        I just need a couple of boards for now but in the future who knows? This friend of mine has a business that caters to the well to-do people at the beach where each year during the xmas season he hangs xmas lights and ornaments and then takes them down at the end of the season. Well what we have come up with is a way to control the lights and we want to market the product to his clientele.

          In the U.S. at least.[^]. OTOH I have seen other Articles/Blogs that show different results. Here[^] for example shows Perl way below both Java and C# (interestingly, Java is just below C# but gets better pay). There are hundreds of these, all varying in their rankings. From a very quick browse, the only constant seems to be that SQL ranks highly more frequently than most. It doesn't affect me, I learn whichever interests me at any given moment. For those of you in the market, though, do you try to learn whatever seems to be high ranking or just look for the best job using what you already know? Hey, Pete! Is this deep enough for you?

            So can I. But just as I wouldn't try a four layer SMT incorporating 800MHz microBGA devices I still get my H/W designer to do 99% of the layouts. He does a much better job, much quicker! (Then I check it for him and tell him what I think needs improving) :laugh:

              And did you know, if you use smaller fonts in the editor, the compiled program is smaller too! :-D

                LINQ is not an ORM. It is a language feature to use declarative syntax to operate over (lazily evaluated) data.There is LINQ to XML, for example, that lets you write and create XML DOM trees using LINQ syntax. Oh, and it spawned a variety of language features like anonymous types, local variable type inferencing etc. What exactly don't you like about LINQ?

                  And I thought, good old C still was the most widely used language.

                  Maybe I've missed something, but I didn't see a mention of C/C++ (and various other languages such as VB/VBA/.NET, or even COBOL) at all. If they didn't bother to check the data for any languages but the ones being mentioned then we obviously cannot make a statement based on those data regarding C/C++. I agree with others that there are probably a lot more actual jobs than open positions for C/C++ compared to the newer languages, although, then, I'm not sure why SQL is in demand that much. Maybe it's the hype on cloud computing? Lots of data requires lots of database interaction.

                    SQL is in a different class than other languages. Almost any business application needs to put its data in a database, so, whatever language you use to write the application, it will need to interface with some SQL. So you need SQL. However, you can't write applications in SQL, so you need something else, and what that else is depends largely on the industry. Well established large enterprises are likely to be using Java. Smaller, current, web-based businesses are likely to be using PHP, C# or VB.NET, in that order, I believe. Perl is most likely being used in older, pre-PHP, web-based businesses manned by Linux hackers or engineers. C and C++ is used by engineering firms. The others are hit or miss by progressive, odd-ball companies. Pick your company type, and you will know what to learn.
