I'm getting into networking (currently studying for the CCNA) and I'm wondering what language(s) would be good to learn.
Let me clarify. I don't plan on getting into programming full-time or even on the side; I'm more interested in learning something to make my job applications look more impressive. While the network administration job market isn't as over-saturated as that of /prog/ramming, it's still not ideal. I want to have an edge over the competition.
With all of this in mind, please suggest something that employers looking for a network administrator would like too see (and perhaps have a use for), not something you personally think is the best due to its good syntax or garbage collection or whatever other qualities you look at when determining whether a language is ``good'' or not.
Basically, a ``sellable'' language rather than a useful one.
