Most Commonly used Languages

    I intend, time permitting, to familiarise myself with a number of
programming languages in an effort to gain some part time employment. Of
course I want to familiarize myself with those languages that are used the
most in industry. I have a reasonable number of hours up programming in the
procedural languages BASIC and Turing (Pascal like). I have had an
introduction to non-procedural programming in general.

	Although this may be in a FAQ, I couldn't find it and so here goes. 
I  would like to know to what extent different languages are used in 
different  areas of the softare industry and what they are most commonly 
used for. I  would also like to know  of good references for a description 
of these languages. I prefer texts that  have _detailed_ descriptions of the 
programming constructs rather than those  which introduce constructs by 
example. Nethertheless, I do recognize the need for examples to show how the 
constructs can be used.

    Because this discussion may become more subjective than objective, please
mail all beliefs/observations/insights directly to me. I will summarise the
results in a couple of weeks time.

    Thanks,
