Hello all,
I am contemplating branching out and learning a small handful of programming languages to supplement the M.S. in statistics I am currently working on. There seem to be a lot of such languages so I am interested in learning, at most, maybe 3 of the most commonly used ones (if nothing else, just to demonstrate to a possible employer that I am able to learn such languages).
I am already somewhat familiar with SQL since I took two courses on SAS (which sometimes uses SQL), but I have read also that statisticians sometimes make extensive use of C++, Perl, Python, MATLAB, etc. What would you all recommend I learn?
