Commonest West Coast Dev language???
-
I know that in this area, Java is very big because of all the government work and .Net can be a second class citizen. How is it on the West Coast, SoCal? My nephew is starting his career after college and I am trying to offer some direction. He knows Java and I figure he should leverage what he knows, but it still might be better for him to just jump to .Net. What do you think? How about C++? His brother learned that but I think that is a smaller niche than .Net or Java. Can you suggest other resources to research this?

the west coast (in relation to computer programming) is Silicon Valley and/or San Francisco. :rolleyes: I searched "san francisco silicon valley computer programming language" I found this: https://qz.com/work/1446858/the-computer-languages-most-in-demand-in-silicon-valley/[^] EDIT Although I should mention that the article is a few years old now & they have REST in their chart as a programming language??? :confused:

Fascinating... Java Andriod... That makes sense but his training is primarily in networking so I figure his path will be to learn Linux first, which is also Java friendly. Hmmm. By the way, there are an awful lot of developers working in SoCal.

Honestly, the "most common language" is determined by the target platform on/to which you're coding, and really has no relationship to your geographic location. I've found that when you get right down to it, all languages are pretty much the same. Hell, java and c# are almost like conjoined twins separated at birth.

See if there's a duuuuude language.

I think one needs a "major": machine learning; "big" data; security; quantum computing; robotics; etc. Otherwise, you'll just wind up maintaining somebody's web site. Which implies continued learning and embracing / avoiding trends (which last year was "blockchain").
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

Well, I mean, I'm no longer in SoCal...
