Programming Fields

Game Programming - This is what most programmers aspire to do. It's like how every kid wants to join the army and become a sniper. Very few actually get into this field, and only a handful become successful from it. Languages: C, C++, C# with XNA, Python, Lua.

Web Programming - Ever since Web 2.0 web programmers have always been in demand. <div><div><div><div><div><div><div>. Languages: HTML, XHTML, XML, CSS, ASP, PHP, Javascript, Java, .NET.

Legacy Systems Programming - Reading other peoples code is the worst part of programming. However, there will always be legacy systems so there will always be work. Languages: COBOL, Fortran.

Function Programming - This is what computer science is all about. Good luck getting a job though. This is more of a hobby than anything. Languages: Scheme, Lisp, Haskell, Scala, F#, Clojure, Erlang.

Database Programming - There will always be a market for these programmers. Nobody really wants to do it, but money is money. Languages: C, C#, mySQL, SQL, Oracle.

IT - Same as database programming, but more rebooting and less database. Languages: DOS batch scripts.

The D Programming - Everything C and C++ can do, D can do it better!

What if i aspire to do research/teach once i get my masters in CS? Where am i on that list?

You will be kill by JEWS

Research: Functional

Teach: Depends

>Languages: ... Oracle

Ok, I smiled and almost lolled.

Looks mostly correct except nobody has ever used C# to make a game. Nobody really uses Java for Web Programming, ASP is now part of .NET, Oracle is not a language, MySQL is not used in real databases (nor is it a language), DOS batch scripts are rarely used in IT, and in fact the only place I have ever seen them is Active Directory setups, usually to effect some kind of post-logon processing.

Embedded Systems, Research

Expert noob

Text Processing : Handling high volumes of data in .txt, .csv and .xml formats, and performing maintenance tasks. Language: Perl and Shell Scripts

>>10
And Python, and Java

>>11
And Ruby

>>11
Fuck java, bloated piece of shit.
For text processing : Perl, Python or bust! ok maybe Ruby too

bump for more types of programming fields

SQL is a computer language.

Apache, MySQL, SQLite, SQL Server, and Oracle are databases.

>>15
Try again!

IT..... Languages: DOS batch scripts
you heard it here first folks, the only scripting language available to sys admins is batch scripts

>>16
Try what again?
All of that is correct, and I'm not going to list every RDB.

whats it like trying to get a job with a BS CS

Java is frequently used in ENTERPRISE web and application programming.  Its only big competitor right now is .NET.

Anus haxing : Funny comments, trolling and quoting of other people's shitty posts: Languages BBCODE

>>21
Languages: ^B_BCODE

>>15
they're database management systems

>>18
>>23.
Also MySQL, SQLite and Oracle are dialects or extensions of SQL or something. They support several DBMS backends.

I use Perl myself everyday @ work. Unix + Perl = amazing power. Of course, everyone can see that, even Microsoft

Powershell is a huge step in the right direction.

Don't change these.
