BobLewiston Junior Techie Join Date: Nov 2008 Posts: 79	best skill set to re-enter programming? I've been out of computer programming for several years and my skills are no longer current. (I used to be an applications programmer.) What does everyone think would be the best skill set to develop in order to re-enter programming as quickly as possible, and what would be the best (and most cost-effective) way to go about developing those skills? Thanks to anyone who can help me.

C# or C++ would be the best.

If you want to be an application programmer, learn C# in order to get the most job offers. If web application is more your thing, learn .NET.

Yep those are the two most widely used languages. After comes Java and Perl for web programming.
