Next semester is my last at university. I have taken all 3 of the GIS courses offered in my program. Besides some very light interaction with Python though, their has been zero discussion of programming. This has left me feeling unprepared to enter the job market- especially because when I search for GIS jobs online they all mention Python and/or Javascript.
So I asked if I could do a self-directed study next semester in which I will learn either Python or Java or a bit of both.
My understanding is that Python is for automating operations inside the arc environment (or within an IDE but still directly related to automating processes within arc)
Javascript is more about interfacing between GIS (server) and client's.
My question: I would like to know more about how these two languages interact with GIS. What kind of work does each one lead to? Which is a more sought after skill?
opinions from people working inside the industry and links to articles would be much appreciated.
