 | How well do I need to know these additional things? I know C++ better than the back of my hand, and could get every possible interview question correct. But when they ask for other languages too I couldn't. I used Java maybe 6 months ago, and C# 5 years ago, and SQL just the basics, along with other various languages. But I really wouldn't say at all that I know them. How well should I know these other languages when they ask for them? And I have had no software engineering job yet, so my resume is blank except just me working on a CS degree, and an internship as a computer tech guy. All of my experience is really just my hobbies, how can I show interviewers that I know what I am doing. And just for the info, my dad is a software engineer as well, so I have grown up being able to use him as a resource, and I feel confident in taking my skills to the work area. So I guess, what should I do? And I am honestly fine with an internship as well, I just am having a hard time finding one. I just want experience. Does anyone know of any internships maybe in C++, in the north west?

 | I am currently learning Java at University... this is the main programming language being taught there at the moment.
What I want to know is, to get a good successful programmer/software engineer job... should I learn any other language(s)?
If so... what language(s) should I mainly focus on?
Not interested in LAMP (web design side) at the moment!).
Thinking of the Microsoft side... but there are so many to choose from!
Thanks!
Is C++ better than C sharp?
Don't need tutorials for Java... already learning that in Uni now!

| I am 18, and planning to go into computer science next year as my major. I have always had a fascination with computers, programming and concepts associated with it, and algorithms. I think that choosing either software engineering or computer science would be the correct choice for me. But I was wondering what is the usual day like for these jobs. I looked stuff up online, but it is not always like what a person really does in the field.
And a side question, how many programming languages do you have to know (based on your experience) when working for a company? And, what would you recommend for someone like me who plans to go into the field of computer science/programming?

| I'm currently in high school and I want to learn a programming language to head for this career at full force.

| I am wanting to develop a software engineering skill set, possibly to use in future work as a software engineer. I have some questions about getting into this field.
1.) Where would I go for mentoring in this field? Is there somewhere in the open source community that can let me acquire the experience I need to possibly get a job in software engineering in the future?
2.) Is a consulting career (doing this for clients for hire) viable in the future, once experience is gained?
3.) Since I come from an engineering (including electrical and computer) background, would embedded software engineering be a good fit for myself, or should I just stick to non-embedded programming?
4.) What languages would be a good fit for a.) embedded b.) application and c.) web?
5.) I've heard of a formal software development process/lifecycle? Is this what software engineering covers, and is there an Internet tutorial on this?
6.) Any other tips?
Thanks!

| I'm almost done with my sophomore year, so I really need to look at colleges more seriously now. I've been researching colleges for a long time but I don't know the exact field of study that Software Engineering is in. Would it be in Computer Engineering? General Engineering? Something else? Please help. And if anybody has any tips on how I should prepare for these colleges courses or anything else, please tell me.
Thank you for your help.

| I am software engineer having 3 years of experience in India. I am planning to goto Canada or U.K. to search for job as going to U.S. is difficult due to Visa processing. Currently I am working in Java Web Services but i don't know why I am not liking this technology. Should I shift my technology to something else like Android? I like to make new applications so I may like creating mobile applications. I am planning to take off for 2 months to learn any new technology so i might be good in any technology in 2 months and can show experience in same technology in my resume.
Please suggest should I switch my technology? Which consultancy to go? Any other suggestions are welcome.

| I started college late, 21, but I am working my way up, trying to get through my classes fast.
Was wondering what does it take to be a Software Engineer.
I am undecided still and trying to get some answers on some majors.
I do like computers, even though in high school I was the economics guy.
I am a bit familiar with coding (Game Maker, and Java) and a quick leaner of codes.
Also how hard will it be to find a job(jobs in NJ or PA) once I finish, if I choose this major
