Being a geek (even though self proclaimed) I know (quite) a bit about computers (to be humble - at least I think I do). When I lay down the languages and technologies I've worked with (given that I have been an engineer only for 3 years) it even amazes me to see the list. I also believe in the philosophy of learning, specially the advice 'Learn at least one new language a year' which came from a good friend - Glen Daniels. Glen may not be the one that came up with it but he is the one that put it in a way that hit me (and a few of my friends)
My philosophy with new languages is quite open. I simply have no fear in learning a new language and diving down - a mindset formed by many of my friendly geeks. Well this is not an exhaustive list but I am getting tired! Its amazing how many technologies has emerged and improved upon for the past few years. Also due to this I have a special respect to all the older engineering folks who've probably worked with a much larger volume of technologies :) |
