I work for company based out of Spain. Our US office is pretty small with only about 30 people, while there are about 300 in the entire company.
In our us office there is only 1 girl and only about 6 native English speakers. I think its pretty cool as I get to talk and get a peek into the culture in Spain.
I think C++ will always be a big player. I'm sure it will lose popularity to some new languages as time goes on but I doubt it will go away completely. There's just too much stuff already written in it and too many companies dependent.

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho. I had to read it back in high as part of my AP Lit course. It's not a very long book but it is very well written and teaches you to enjoy life and live out your dreams.
I saw this a while ago (about a year) and I wrote a hello world and another small program in it. Shortly after I had a job interview for a software dev. spot for one of my schools research labs and I brought this up in the interview, my future boss thought it was halarious!
I took my first class this time last year. It was Programming in Python a 100 level course at my university and my introduction to the world of Computer Science. I fell in love and I feel like a have a lot of material to cover in such a short amount of time. Most of my friends have been coding for years now, I feel like I have to hit the ground running in order to catch up.
also I'm sure it would be important to note that I am familiar with Java, Python, C++, and am learning Perl this semester. I typically pick things up pretty fast so learning a new language (unless its just a strange one) wouldn't be that difficult for me.
i have a student site up on our university site, its nothing fancy. I just bootstrapped it out to have something there. http://students.cis.uab.edu/stucky3
unfortunately where i am most people tend to want people that have been coding for well over 5 years. we even get job offers through our academic adviser with some companies looking for people with 8 years exp and other things like that. like they're going to find that in an undergraduate program
i have dabbled with C and a C++, at our school most of our classes are in java, aside from some of the other classes like compilers and etc. if possible i do what i need to be done on Python but im learning perl this semester also. I haven't messed with c++ a whole lot do to its similarity with java. I feel like if i sat down and needed to do something i'd be familiar enough to be able to do it.
