NEET

Name: Anonymous 2013-08-12 17:49

I don't to be a NEET all my life, so I want to start a career in ENTERPRISE programming, because there are lots of jobs in that area. So I have a few questions:

- should I learn C# or Java?
- Postgresql is good for this or should I install some bloated enterprise DBMS like Oracle?
- should i abandon /prog/?

- Depends on your location. Look at the job ads for your city to see what languages are in demand.
- Depends what you're doing.
- Only while you're at work, or if you're one of the many spammers

There are so many of these I'm starting to doubt I'm being trolled at all.

1. The general consensus and my personal opinion are that C# is a more pleasant language to work in.  This is actually largely due to the better IDE.  If you can use intelliJ instead of Eclipse, Java doesn't look nearly as bad, although it's missing even the minimal functional programming options that C# has.

However, there's more work and probably more future in Java.  Take a look at your local job board, because that varies between regions.

2. Postgre is Oracle-like.  If you choose Java, go with this until you can work on Oracle.  Sql server has a free edition if you choose C#.

3. No need.

Overall, I wouldn't tell my kids to learn C# and the state would take them away if I taught them Java.  If you're in a big town, you might get some work with Python, which in terms of ease of use beats both (from my limited experience with it).
