If you do get assigned tasks in an object oriented language like Java or
C#, don't underestimate the learning curve required with learning object
oriented design patterns. The learning curve is more than learning a
language. I'm no expert in those areas, but learning the design

patterns,

makes or breaks the quality of what you build, and is the hard part imo,
not learning the language. Language = fairly easy; Design patterns and

how

to apply them = not easy.

I understand and I agree. I've applied OO concepts to JavaScript,
Visual Basic, and .NET over the years so I'm familiar with it. I also
took a course in Ruby on Rails so got a little exposure to JAVA that way.

Sincerely,
