You can't "get a job" by learning a programming language. That's like saying "I want to build houses. Should I learn how to use a hammer?" Yes, you should learn how to use a hammer. Also a saw and a screwdriver. Also how to read blueprints, how to do electrical wiring, plumbing, and many more skills. To get a job you need to learn how to write computer programs. Programming can be done, and usually is done, in many languages. Typically your employer picks the language. Or languages, since most programming tasks worth paying somebody to do require a mastery of several different programming languages. A skilled programmer can learn a new programming language "on the fly," as part of the real task he's being paid to do. Yes, you have to start with one programming language and Ruby is a great first programming language, but it's just the start. Just like learning how to hammer a nail is a place to start learning how to build a house. Also you'll want to have some understanding of the kinds of math used in computer programming as well as the ability to express yourself clearly both verbally and in writing. And more basic skills, such as being able to be at work when you're expected, dress like your boss expects, etc. By the way, my first programming languages were FORTRAN, COBOL, and BASIC. All 3 are pretty much dead, but I learned how to write programs and that skill has been putting food on my table for 27 years. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
