Technical knowledge of the company’s infrastructure

The consultant must have a very good understanding of the company’s information system (network, system, infrastructure, operations, etc.), as well as a good knowledge of the functional issues expressed by users.

As a technical consultant, you must have excellent expertise in the technical field concerned by your position: effective knowledge of the information system and software offerings on the market, associated operating systems, programming languages supporting software offerings and service integration issues. He/she must be open to different technologies and tools (such as J2EE, SOA, Apex, ASP.net) that underlie most of the software offering. Fluency in English is required to understand technical documentation.

The essential programming language

Today’s programming world is a sphere of inventions that forces developers to diversify their capabilities. There are many computer languages that the IT technical consultant will have to master, depending on the projects on which he will be working: Web, BI, Infra…

The main programming languages

Here are the main computer languages and their uses, which are most in demand today:

 

  • Javascript is one of the most used tools in Web development. Supported by all modern browsers, JavaScript enables the creation of high-quality, varied and interactive user interfaces.
  • SQL represents a set of queries that allow the management of small or large scale databases. Its immense usefulness makes it indispensable in certain professional fields and therefore highly sought after. Certain uses of SQL allow you to obtain Oracle certification.
  • Python is used for scripting and managing vast amounts of information. Python is at home in a wide range of web and mobile applications.
  • PHP is a multifunctional tool for generic programming that requires a Web server (such as Apache or GWS) and is used to generate HTML/CSS code at the server level, then transmits it to the Internet browser for interpretation.
  • HTML/CSS: Fundamental basis of a website, the only language understood by web browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Edge, Chrome, Safari…). It determines the content of the site, and works in concert with CSS which gives the form of the content.
