Tips for an up and coming programmer.
I am new to this fourm and was just hoping some programmers out there could give me some tips. I currently am going for my bachelors in information technology with an emphasis in programming. I have already taken both basic and advanced classes in Visual Basic 6 and learned it with ease. I also have extensive knowledge in Java using JBuilder. Java was a bit harder to learn but I still picked it up quite well. I also have taken classes in C++, Javascript, HTML, XML, Linux, and all Microsoft Office products. The questions I am wondering are what languages should I really hone in on?? I know its good to have broad knowledge on different languages but are some that are more important than others??? I have also been hearing reports that due to a lot of jobs going offshore that the job market for programmers is shrinking?? Also for anyone who has working as a programmer, are the hours a strain on your personal life??? I have heard that you are pretty much devoted to your job and everything else takes second to the work at hand??? Thanks in advance for any answers.
