Software engineer here (but I'm more of a general electrical engineer at my job). Not quite a year out of college.

Great stuff, what programming languages?

Lately I've been doing a lot of firmware stuff in embedded C and assembly. Also we use various combos of C, C++, C# (.net), Java, occasionally VB.NET for legacy stuff, verilog for my HDL when I need it, and I'm tinkering around with some scripting languages on the side but not really using those at work. Plus typical SQL database stuff. We do more hardware than software at my job so we usually prefer embedded C/asm or C# on the PC side, mostly because the Visual Studio IDE is the best ever created, IMO.

Great stuff boss, there are certainly no shortage of languages and you are now expected to know most if not all of them. The more programming languages you have under the belt, the better it is for you. I used to program in C and C++ but reached my brain cells limits once pointers got involved in C++. I've found PERL to be logically similar to C. ASP, .NET, PERL, PHP, SQL scripting are popular and are also great foundations for intrusion detection engineering(hacking) should you decide to dabble with it...ethical hacking of course

At my uni (and beyond) they really focused on learning how and why programming languages work and the basic concepts and data structures/algorithms/etc., and not focusing on learning the syntax only. I love pointers, and I try to use them whenever practical, haha. I'm very confident that I can learn the ins and outs of any language syntax in a day or less due to this approach. Yeah I'd really like to learn perl and python but I have to find some good projects to apply it towards, otherwise I'll just end up forgetting what I learned. I don't have much interest in hacking/intrusion/shady stuff but I do love to make DIY projects for around the house. Right now I'm almost done making a midi controller footswitch for one of my guitar pedals.

Right on!

me to!(well I guess now a days like in my case, getting your C of Q is the same thing as red seal, but I know in the past they had a separate standard to get the red seal) gotta say I do love it though! Our trade is broad and covers anything and everything, there's always something new or something you haven't done before.
