I am currently a "Progress Programmer" and looking for new challenges!
Are you referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenEdge_Advanced_Business_Language
It seems that Python is a good language to get familiar with and I would like some advice. I am on the look-out for a new job anyway and I thought it well to look for a job as Python developer in my field. I have been working in the healthcare sector for many years now and perhaps the only way to find a job as Python programmer at this stage, will be to find a job in the healthcare sector, as this is what I am familiar with. Are there any healthcare companies using Python (anywhere in the world) that I can contact for opportunities and advice? I currently live in South Africa and would like to know what the demand for Python is in SA, but I will also consider relocating to Australia or the UK if I find it's going to be worth it. Please advise on what route you would suggest I take to become a Python developer!
One way to establish credibility as a 'python programmer' is to make contributions to an open-source python project. Perhaps find or create a project to somehow integrate Python and Progress.
