I'm sure there's a lot of coding threads on here - but the ones I've seen are geared more towards long term career choices.
What would be the best language to learn and practice, to potentially pick up some side money or telecommuting coding jobs?
I have a day job that I love (unrelated to coding/tech), but could always use some side income, and would also like to expand my skills because honestly as great as my day job is, I don't feel safe having just one income source.
I have a background in computer programming though. I had a job when I was in HS doing programming (shell scripting, Progress Database, a little C) - took c++ classes and all that as well. So it's not like I'm starting from scratch. this was a long time ago so I'm not fluent in these languages, but I feel like it would come back to me quickly if I got back on it
Everyone says PYTHON but wouldn't that mean the Python market is over-saturated with coders? I see Indian dudes on Fiverr doing stuff in PHP and Python for what looks like little to no money at all.
Any recommendations? What about some languages that aren't as sexy as Ruby, etc... but still in $$ demand like Assembly, regular C, etc... ? Basically what language would have the greatest ROI if I started to do some online classes, got a compiler and started practicing?
