General :: Which Programming Languages Do Need To Learn For Career?
May 4, 2011
I am just starting to learn Linux and am interested in a career in Linux. Actually I wanna go for RHCE, which is the first step for Sys Admin..right?? Basically I do NOT want to go into programming/developing as I don't feel it's my cup of tea (and also may be it sort of boggles me). Still, from what I gather I am having confusions regarding whether I should learn any programming language for a career in Linux.
Here I am avoiding programming..and now I get to hear that Linux career uses programming..That's sort of frustrating...My friend told me I need to "master" C. Do I need to learn some programming language?? If yes, then to how much extent?

have a previous background in internet programming languages such as XHTML, DHTML, CSS and javacsript. I would like to start programming and managing my linux system (like an expert) and starting on linux projects also. My question is which is the best programming language to learn: C, C++ (may b even C+), python, Perl etc... I'm learning BASH right now cause I know its a necessity for linux systems. but what would you guys suggest after that I learn.

So a friend and I are new-ish to linux (I am reasonably comfortable with basic /etc text editing, command admin). We are, however, completely new to programming and (x)html. We have a few (what we think are) interesting ideas for dynamic websites.Ideally we would like to develop our own course of study to get to the point where we have a basic understanding of programming so that our adventures in the programming of a dynamic website would be possible. Much of what we need learn to do is the following: use daily updated public-domain data from several other sites, manipulate that data algorithmically, which would then yield updating output on our site. Here is what I would like to do:
1. learn the basics of programming with a language that would teach good code habits and fundamental understanding.
2. become comfortable with (x)html
3. learn another language for the extension of (x)html into a dynamic data-heavy website.
Question could you please suggest a way about going about 1>2>3?Ideally the language of (1) would be something that would not be "wasted" just on web design etc. As a language, C really appeals to me. However, if learning this wouldn't lend itself to being helpful in learning another language for webdesign maybe I shouldn't use it(?).If (1) weren't to be C, what language would be funadmental enough to teach good coding but also be helpful in learning (3)

I want to know your opinions on the best combination of programming languages to learn if you want to learn more than one. An explanation of your choices would be real nice. I've included a multiple-choice poll that has the langauges from the Member's Choice Awards 2009 list of best programming languages on it. Please vote for your choice of languages also. It should be interesting to see what the numbers are like when people can vote this way, and choose more than one language.I'm voting for Python/C just as an "overall" opinion. It's what I'm going to learn. I've done quite a bit of reading and experimenting and this is what I've personally settled on. My opinion is just a personal "overall" opinion. You can also pick just a single language, and vote for just a single language if you think it's better to learn just one.

Edit: Oops. Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I meant to post it in the general forums, yet somehow it ended up here. It kind of fits here as well I guess. I am currently trying to move my career forward and am not having much luck. So I've come to see if any of you can offer some fresh advice to help me out.
Let me tell you first where I stand in my career to give you an idea of where I'm starting from. I am currently 26 years old and have recently graduated with a bachelors of computer science from university. I would call myself an average student, nothing special, nor anything horrible. Out of university this landed me an ok job as a PHP developer. However I dont want to stagnate in this position scripting junk all day and not ever challenge myself. not to mention i could certainly rant for a while on the things that fall short at my current position (read: being banned from object oriented programming because the boss cant understand it)
I'd like to find a job that (1) challenges me just the right amount to help me learn and grow but not get overwhelmed in a language I enjoy (hopefully such as C/C++/Java or the like)
(2) is at a company with at least some software design process implemented (agile,xp,etc)and if that is to much to ask, then I'd at least like to move in that direction. So that is what I am looking towards and I would love any advice on how to achieve that. Maybe some of you were in my position 5 or 10 years ago and could shed some light on the subject. I've scoured the internet for job postings that offer what I am looking for, but they are really hard to find. The postings are usually looking for senior or intermediate level programmers with at least 5+ years of experience, or looking for web development script monkeys to make "The next big facebook app" (the job I already have)
I've also considered attending conferences and such, but have never really been, and wouldn't know what to do, or where to even find out about them (I used to see postings every now and then at university, but now I live in a small town.)

other than Python, which languages are built into most Linux distros, using a real-time interpreter, like the Python prompt, where you can just enter some commands and test out ideas before actually creating a file with your program?

I've been working in the real world for a year making some money to go back and finish my masters, and now I'm coming to the end of my contract and am realising how little i remember and how small my scope has become; i basically do shell scripts and perl these days, and its making me uneasy. So instead of bitching about it , I'm going to endevor to complete Project Euler Using randomly generated programming languages for each problem, selected from
And post the fruits of my attempts at my blog (shameless plug) aswell as opening up my svn repository when I'm done. (altho i need to ask in another thread about svn permissions....)To my shame i havent ever touched C#, JavaScript, Ruby or Python, so all in all its going to be very interesting how much i screw up.Anyone have any additional ideas, or languages I'm missing or such? I was considering TCL or Haskell or Erlang at a strech, but i dont know how useful these three would be.

Forgive me if this question displays volumes of ignorance, but which programming languages can/do run natively in linux/the various linux distributions?I'm not exactly new to programming, but all of my work so far has been done in .NET and Java environments, and as such, has involved using Windows native-running programs or programs that run in the JRE.If this is a stupid question, please help me to ask a better one.

Well I have been interested in programming for a while, and just found out about Linux and Unix. I started out with Java, but now I know I bunch: Flash, C++, C and others. I was working on a mac so I made a few flash games then started to work on iPhone games. I was board one day and I found out about Unix and I thought that would be something else to try.So in an attempt to learn about Unix I have been reading different articles about it, and have heard of using different languages in one program. The article I was reading didn't give any examples, and it assumed the reader has programmed Unix before.
So how do you write programs in multiple languages, which languages would you use, and why would you want to do that?

I have recently graduated from uni and during my time there I have developed an interest in HDL, specifically Verilog. As my current job doesn't lend itself to doing anything in verilog so I decided to keep myself sharp by designing a 32 bit processor that is similar to (but not the same as) the MIPS processor it will certainly be RISC. While starting work on it I have decided to start a blog detailing what I have done including the source file as I am entering my work into the wide world I think it needs a licence but I am not looking to make any money or even to derive any fame from what I'm doing. Like I said the main reason to do it is to keep me active in using HDLs.
I hope to gain from the blog suggestions for alternative(better) ways to do what I am doing, for people to use what I have done as an example of a medium sized project in verilog and to force me to have some form of documentation on my project. That's enough self publication to the question. Is the GPL (either version 2 or 3) applicable to work in HDL as it is not a traditional programming language but shares many of the same features? It certainly does not feel like I should use a CC license. I'm not sure this is the correct forum for this question but it seems most applicable.

I'm new to Linux and these forums, but programmed in C++ on other systems. I discovered several Linux terminal emulators don't render Right to Left languages properly and so as an exercise I writing my own. It based on GtkTextView widget. Basically is working, but the shell won't issue prompts because it doesn't think my terminal emulator is actually a terminal (isatty returns false)

The last time I wrote code for anything was about 15 years ago using Turbo Pascal. I would like to get back into it, most likely to create some mobile apps or enhance web sites. What is the best general purpose language to learn? And what is a good method for learning, preferably free?
