Now that I have passed the
java programmer certification exam. Any suggestions on what would be next to learn. Here's my situation.
I'm 52 years old. I currenty work for a Market Research firm. I was introduced to the wonderful world of programming 2 and half years ago when without having any prior experience in programming I was promoted to the position. Quancept and Quantum are the software tools used in the Market Research Industry.
During these past two and half years i have been able to use the tuition reimbursement benefit of my newly acquired postion to pursue and assoiciates in Computer Technology.
However 6 months ago in a cost cutting measure they eliminated my position. ( I was not getting enough billable programming hours.) So I back doing what i did before for the company, but at the same programer salary.
Anyway in the last six months i have been learning a new programming language....JAVA...and started job searching. My question simply is after my certification what else would be the most marketable skill i could acquire in conjunction with JAVA programming.
