SAP has its own and they do a better job than others.\n\nDont bother though. Why would you lock yourself into a proprietry language???? Stick with Java or open source in 5 years you will be even more in demand

Information technology, in particular, Software design...think of things like video games and programs.  They just released a list recently...either in Money, Fortune or Forbes...of the best occupations now and in the near future.

Mac.\n\nGraphic applications are better set up for mac use and the mac handles them better too. Plus, you'll find that font usage is far superior and intuitive on a mac. It's also fundamentally more stable than PC - especially OSX.\n\nI have used a mac since about 1989 and have a PC at home. Whilst my pc is far faster for most things including games, my mac is much more reliable from a graphics perspective.

Linux is used by a lot of technical users. They are not very user friendly for people who just want to use the internet to browse and download things easily.\n\nLinux is more for programmers and technical people who is familiar with at least one programming language, most especially unix.\n\nI think if Microsoft goes for open source, then they will target the tech users, but it wont be their #1 consumer.

Having been both these and more, I can tell you clearly!\n\nThere are more programmers and more programmer needs, so Jobs for programmers is more.  Companies need more programmers than database people.  There salaries start low for basic people and can climb very high for skilled people.\n\nHowever, database specialist get paid more (about $10,000 average), but there are fewer jobs because there are less people needed to do that job per company.\n\nIf you can do both you are a gold mine!\n\nProgrammer/Analyst jobs are even higher in need than programmers.  These are people that can do analysis of problems and program the solutions.  These people are needed more than just basic programmers.

The whole industry is going through some big changes right now so what's hot is pretty hard to pick. My list would be:\n\n1. Web programming with Python, PHP, Ruby. Java and ASP.NET are good web frameworks, but the 4GL languages are so much faster to develop in and seem to be the core of most new web 2.0 sites.\n\n2. IT infrastructure consolidation using commodity hardware, open source software, and virtualization using VMware, XEN, etc.\n\n3. Web Services-based middleware. Yahoo, Amazon, Google, etc. are exposing business services via web services that all generating all kinds of new business models. Mashups are leveraging UI and backend API interfaces to create new web applications like Zillow, etc.\n\n4. Business Process Modeling is getting a new breath of life as the Java application servers and .NET framwork mature and there's a demand for good business analysts who can document business processes using UML, BPMN, or BPEL.\n\n5. Mobile device applications is still a hot area, but very challenging due to the short lifespan of the equipement and myriad of connection protocols: EDGE, EV-DO, UMTS, etc.\n\n6. VOIP using the Asterix open source PBX. Later versions with SIP support for CTI is really going to be cool and there's a big demand for cost savings to rip out old phone systems and go to wireless.\n\n7. Jonathan Schwartz pointed out that more money will be spent on storage than on software for the next couple years. How companies deal with rapidly increasing amounts of data is going to generate demand for database and storage infrastructure skills.\n\n8. Software as a service. Even the big players are starting to realize that selling software as a right-to-use license is a dead-end and the future is in the monthly service charge model.\n\nBasically, people looking to get into the I.T. field should steer clear of commoditized areas like application programming, customer support, embedded systems, etc. \n\nHope that helps!

Not many jobs in the US for software people these days.  They are all being done in India now.

For a freelancer programmer, I'd go for .net languages: VisualBasic, C#. They are in high demand now -- there was an article in slashdot.org a few days ago commenting about it.\n\nIf you are serious about this, I'd recommend studying CS: the language of the day changes often. You'd be better understanding all the fundamentals behind, learning a new language is easy ;)\n\nJava, PHP and C++ somewhat are all in very high use, but there are also lots of programmers that know and use them.\n\ngood luck and have fun learning!
