Hey guys. So, I can't remember if i mentioned this when it happened, but a while back my lecturer made the claim with the follow list that "I bet most of you can program in 3 of these max - if you can become fluent in all of them, you can double your salary". I thought that was ridiculous, seeing as the list is very similar languages - but feel free to tell me if i'm wrong:
C#, C++, Java, Python, Ruby, Perl, PHP.
However, it did make me curious as to what I should be learning on the side to try and round out my list of technical skills that I've acquired over my time at/before uni. So any opinions would be fantastic - feel free to assume it's for either a games programming or software engineering role.
Here's my current list:
C#, C++, HTML, CSS, Javascript/JQuery, SQL, Prolog, Haskell, VB.
The most obvious thing to me that's missing is Java - but I feel like that would be easy enough to pick up with my knowledge of C#.
And I know this is a tad pointless for most jobs (I'm assuming) since i'll never need to use more than 2 of those at once (i doubt i'm going into web development), but I'm really interested in what would build the perfect skillset.
Thanks!
Danny
