What programming languages a network
I would definitely say Perl. It runs on both Unix and Winblows so its
portable. I used to write scripts for monitoring network services,
connecting to ports ie. There is even a library to easily write your own

the systems I work on run some form of windows, I found it to be an easy
language to learn and very useful for creating quick custom tools that the
end user may need (such as logging into all the routers and saving the
Perl is good to know, but it is a scripting language. As far as programming
goes, I like C and C++. Many tools are available using Perl, C, and C++,
that can make a network engineers job much easier.
