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?

Hospital/Pharmacy software analyst.

Everyone else I work with drive BMWs and Mercedes.

I like being unique.

That was me for over 8yrs, Time Warner then Crapcast when they bought us out.

Been a Graphics/UI Designer at a software company just over a month

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 ;)

Junior Design Engineer

I am the only alien left alive following the 1947 Roswell, NM crash. Since then retired Air Force Officer, and almost retired US government employee.

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.

What do you do for a living and what kind of degree do you hold??
 

I'm a software developer

BS in Computer Science.

Project Leader

That's what computer science is. Programming language is just a tool used to solve computing problems.
