C# for the last 6 years...

SoYank · 09-20-2007, 12:21 PM

Fortran, Cobol, Pascal

A more interesting question would be should you be concentrating on being an expert at one programing language vs knowing a multitude of programming languages? After all, logic is logic no matter what language you use (it is just a matter of learning the syntax and quirks with each language).

java script, c, SQL, html

In the past: basic

, pascal

, COBOL, JCL, REXX

I agree. If given a flowchart someone should be able to take it and write a program with it in any (computer) language.

Agree w/ the logic is logic...i don't see any difference in them. I code in almost any languages, shell, php, perl, c, c++ etc..and nothing seems different. Thing is to land a job, they want you to be an expert in millions of languages....but be realistic...you cannot be a pro in all available languages in the market.....absurd.

agreed. But they should list what language they prefer and what other language is a + to know. What company wants you to be an expert in every freaking language? If there is such a company, I would stay far away from them (they don't really know what they are looking for).

Really? The nuances of the languages are very different. In C/C++, you easily can have string buffer overflows. In Java, the language won't let you do that. If you were to write C code as if it were Java code, you'd have some very big security flaws.

I agree, Object Oriented design is the same - the principles still hold (for JAVA v. C++), but when you get down the the implementation of the language it can be very different.

I learned C++ in school. I did .NET for 2 years professionally, and I have spent the last 2 years doing JAVA professionally. I think I am going to stick with JAVA and try to get good at it.

Anyone else here had to debate if they wanted to be an expert in JAVA or .NET ?
