Well, it's a disaster. He's basically unemployable as a developer.
Industry and outsourced work is almost exclusively in Java or C#. All embedded or older desktop applications are fully C or C++. Web requires JavaScript nodejs or ruby or PHP or sometimes python.
- kojeovo 8y ago> He's basically unemployable as a developer You mean as a C, C++, Java or C# developer. Like you said yourself, web requires JavaScript and typically another for the server side (unless node ofc). You can be highly employable as a web developer without knowing the older languages in this case.
- mtnGoat 8y agoi am currently hiring developers and none of those languages are even remotely required. FWIW.
- potta_coffee 8y agoReally? No - I started with Python and Javascript. I didn't go to college btw - but I never learned anything about C / C# / Java before getting a job. I know about those languages now but it's definitely not a prerequisite for employment. Of course that may be affected by your location.
