Question for the IT types

[nadriel]

In order to help with the acquiring of a job, my parents have agreed to pay for me to go on a course, assuming I can find one that would be of value in getting a job.

I was wondering if any of you can suggest what sort of thing I should be looking at- given that I already have two years experiences as a programmer in PICK BASIC.

Most development jobs around at the moments are SQL Server and .Net, so studying one of those would probably be a good call.

yep, both of those are good.

i find a lot of jobs that are unix/java/oracle or sql server/.net though i have personally just finished working on a java/sql server project.

any of the above would help you

java. do a course which results in sun certified java qualifications and you should be able to get a job in london no problem

Ah yes, I also considered mentioning Java. But I think there's a bigger demand for .Net programmers at the moment than there are for Java programmers (what with everyone and their dog replacing old VB applications with .Net applications).

xml, java, .NET , Oracle, and coming soon...Linux. All in demand where I work.
