Re: Programming language

[John G <vwritert -at- gmail -dot- com>]

Hey John

A lot depends on where the programs are run and what they do. If you're
interested in web-based applications, then Ruby and Python are good bets,
with JavaScript part of the mix  If you're interested in large
enterprise-wide applications, C# is a good bet.

Check with the developers and see what they recommend. Slashdot is a good
resource for information, too. And if you want to learn, look for Head
First books - they are generally both interesting and informative. I've
used their JavaScript and SQL books, but this one looks like s good
starting place:
