[ubuntu-us-in] Time for a change

[Daniel Dunn]

Thanks for the reply Nate. This action is not a totally selfless. I
also want to learn some common programming languages so that someday
I will have a strong enough background to move to our Unix team at
work.  I guess my next question would be... What languages are used
for what? When would i use Ruby with Rails? when would i use Python?
when would I use Pearl or C#? I am looking for the most bang for my
buck to get started, then I plan on learning some of the more obscure
or specialized languages.
