I think pretty much anything - I had a conversation with the director this morning and he essentially said that in terms of working here, if I want to stay in IS, I need some experience as an analyst, some as a project manager, and some as a technical person to give me credibility as a manager. Whether I agree with that or not, I would like to try and learn a programming language because I've struggled with trying to learn in the past and I'd like to know if that's because I just can't do it, or if it's because I've had bad teachers.
He suggested Visual Basic but that seems to tie me very much to Windows. I know Java is hard, so not that. I need to find out what else our developers use & therefore what might be useful for me in terms of working here (as well as being a transferable language for other workplaces), but I thought I'd ask the internet too, cos the internet is smart!
