Programming

Hello friends,

I started my career with VB.6.0 in 2007, In 2008 moved in VB.NET window application programming and then for web application programming with C#,ASP.NET with different databse like Oracle,MySQL and SQL Server.Currently I have 4.7 years experience in .NET application and worked with different .NET versions (2003,2005,2008,2010).
Now a days I work with good MNC , but fed up with .NET frequent changes for stability.

I want to move from .NET to Unix shell and Perl programming.Please let me know how I can move from .NET to Unix Shell programming,What book I should learn for Unix Shell and Perl Programming.How stable is it than .NET ?
Will my current .NET experience help me in UNIX job ?

I have woking experience on
VB.6.0,VB.NET,C#,ASP.NET,Javascript,Crystel Report,SSRS,Oracle,My SQL,SQL Server.MS Access.

Thanks

As you have 4.7 years exp. have you thought of go into non-technical role as lead/manager.?

Thanks Pamu for your response.

Any developer can get lead role after 7 year experience and manager 8+ years in good MNC.

Yes. for manager you should have 8+ exp. But for lead it's varies as per the project. And i think this is possible for 4-5 years exp you can get lead role.

For Unix Books check this link

Well know MNC give SSE position with 5 year experiences , thats why I am still SE
SO Lead and Manger position is very far.

Its really nice to know u want to cum in Unix field. Here is the link for a unix book u can follow and download I believe it will be helpful for u...it is not too much theoritical here mainly practical basic things which u can brush up fast..

UNIX Shell Programming in 24 hours.pdf - 4shared.com - document sharing - download

But unix will be a maintenance job normally until u cum to the programming side of it. Perl is used normally server side programming and specially in network areas. Will be back to u with a perl book which can be understand fast.

Thanks Amisubha,
