What is the best programming language to learn in today's job market. C++, Java, C#, .Net?
Asked by 4j
I've self studied C++ and have an aptitude for it but have been told by career counselors that C# , Java and .Net are the best way to go since, C++ is mostly outsourced overseas. I don't have an educational background in Computer Science or a technical field. I have a BA in sociology. Any suggestions?

Best Answer:
Well Java and C# are quite similar... and .Net uses C# so you can't really go wrong with either one or both.

Java. It's platform independent and many of the criticisms against the language are becoming N/A. There is a real-time version which will continue to become more popular. The processing and memory resources make the JVM overhead negligible.
