C# experience is one of the most sought after skills in software design.

Not really. According to the [the</a> TIOBE index for January 2009](<a href=“http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.html]the”>Home - TIOBE), C# comes in 6th place, with a mere 5.6% of the market. He would be much better off learning Java (19.0%), C (15.9%), or C++ (10.1%). And you can’t forget that C# and .NET in general is an absolutely horrific platform (not that Java is much better).</p>
