The Worklife Bowl

Kevin Samuels

What are some of the trends in reference to programming language usage in the industry now? I'm currently an IT Service Desk analyst with a degree in Computer Science, and I want to get back into software development/coding. What program languages would you recommend brushing up on or any general tips you have for breaking into that space again?
