Most useful languages to know/be familiar with for future employment?
Hey LQ. Im currently studying computer science at university in hopes of becoming a game designer or programmer. As many of you probably already in this line of work, or even employ people for these kind of jobs, i thought i would ask what languages you find most useful in terms of employability?
Note: so far know java and a bit of python, and will be doing C next year. Thanks in advance for replies : ) |
Chinese. Preferably Mandarin ;)

Haha nice, and to be honest i am currently learning Mandarin.

Web development languages and frameworks. C#, PHP, Ruby, JQuery, etc. And SQL. The web development market is huge, it has a low entry barrier, and it's common for new programmers to start out there. Many end up staying there when they find it pays the bills.

From my own experience, java, C#, SQL and XML, occasionally C++. The scripting languages if you are into system administration, PHP if you want to be a web designer/developer. Python, Perl, Ruby, etc. : very limited demand and often fierce competition for the few available places.
