- xtrycatchx 16y agocorrect. i would suggest java, its easier to learn..
- ido 16y agoc#/.net is getting very popular too, seems to be almost as common as java (in job postings) these days.
- kls 16y agoIf it is the quickest path to money COBOL or any mainframe development is still top dog. There is virtually no competition in this space from new developers and has a seriously aging population. While the # of jobs in sheer volume is lower the jobs to head count is much higher. Just applying to a COBOL job with no experience but a "I'm willing to learn" will land you the job many times, if you have previous unrelated development experience. COBOL programmers are commanding $40 hr in India which is close to on par with a mid-level Java developer in the states. That said it's not sexy work.
