It's like jquery on steroids, and also on the server. Trust me.
What language to learn next?

This has some truth, but as it relates to getting a slamming job, you have to think of experience. If I just learned Java and have, say, six months experience using it AND five years of programming experience in other languages, then I am that much more valuable than someone that 'used' it in college.mrkite wrote:True, but every code monkey coming out of college knows Java. You'd be competing with people who'll work for next to nothing just for the experience. (You know how many out of work Java programmers we get applying for a PHP/Ruby position? It's insane)onion2k wrote: Java - Increased job prospects.
At least in Silicon Valley, experience is the key. I see it daily in different job boards. Looking for a PHP developer but would take a Java, Python or C# developer with enough experience. Experience in the field is valuable, and I would say more valuable than just having learned a language in college.
