No mention of MSFT .net?
Java - The New COBOL.
Replaced by C Sharp?
#4 is getting to be very important, knowledge of JQuery is becoming a must.
dot net is the most sought after where i work
It's number 7: C#.
It's a representation of data.
XML and JSON should be grouped together. I
Seems like C sharp and ASP.NET should be higher.
We are a .Net shop.
Just being able to sling some code together in this language or that language - at least from where I sit - is not going to get you that dream job. More typically you have to have some additional expertise in some specific subject area - be that embedded systems, web design, computer graphics - the list can go on and on. Just because you can write a while loop or a for loop in .Net (if such a thing is even possible lol) is probably not going to be enough in and of itself.
#7 and #14, C# and ASP.NET
Just what I thought - no need for being able to write comprehensive, cohesive, and attainable REQUIREMENTS! ;-P
I don't feel like expending a lot of effort to become good at 2005-era corporate-style Java or C# is the way for a young developer to go right now. There is a big change looming ahead, and companies will be forced to stop paying big money for big, complicated, in-house projects. They are going to start demanding quick, cheap wins and that means web technologies, Open Source, the LAMP stack, and project teams of disposable programmers and temporary analysts.
Just use an Indian tech writer to scribble down a few of the CEO's brainstorms and you're done - what's the problem? :)
RE: No mention of MSFT .net?
C# is on the list. You can’t programming in C# if .NET is not installed.
I'd agree, but you also have to say the same thing about HTML.... As someone who is in software development, I cringe when people say they can "program in HTML"...
But the article was about "programming skills", not languages, and being able to represent data as XML (either by hand or programmatically) is a skill.
And you can cross the line with XML with XSLT.
PHP is amateurville. I can’t imagine a first rate pro website being written in it.
