The thread shows a common early-career question from and platform-focused replies from and . Rather than choosing a single "evergreen" name, long-term value comes from transferable skills: problem solving, system design, data structures, databases, debugging, and the ability to learn new tools. The original posts date to 2007, so current job demand and toolchains have changed; the safest route is a project-driven, fundamentals-first approach.

A practical path for a second-year engineering student:

  1. Learn core CS ideas (algorithms, complexity, basic databases, networking and OS concepts) and practise them with small problems.
  2. Pick one complete stack to build 2–3 end-to-end projects (idea, backend, persistence, simple UI) and publish the code.
  3. Master essential tools: git, a debugger, unit testing, basic command-line and a simple deployment workflow.
  4. Seek real experience: internships, campus projects, or open-source contributions that demonstrate responsibility and delivery.
  5. Read local job ads to align skills with employer needs; prefer demonstrable projects over certificates.

Short-term goals that are measurable: two working projects in a public repo, one internship or live project, and comfort with git and basic SQL before the final year. A caution: chasing the "easiest to learn" technology can leave gaps; sustained interest and the ability to ship working software are what employers value most.

well basically the choices are:

ASP.NET
PHP
C#
C / C++
Java
Database administration (MS/MySQL/Oracle)

Hot areas at the minute are PHP/MySQL

there isnt that many jobs in VB.NET as there are for other languages. Most developers learn C# instead of VB.

It depends on the taste that you have...
If you are comfortable with C then use PHP....
if you are a MS FaN THEN GO ON WITH .net...
IT DEPENDS REALLY... just follow your heart..

OK GOD BLESS on your career
