Do you use C in the work environment roi? Just wondering what type of applications companies are looking to implement when they hire C coders.

Yes and No. I haven't built a complete App in C or C++ for quite a while, but I still regularly write shims in C & C++.

As for the general job market, I really don't know what the availability or demand is as I focus primarily on Apple (Swift, Objective-C, Objective-C++), Linux(Swift, Java) and some occasional Microsoft(C#, F#); and for that I rarely have to write anything more than an occasional shim in C & C++.

Nice skill set you have. I went the Microsoft route mostly by fate; some guys go a complete different route like you. Interesting.

My current company and the one before it use C extensively. Primarily we use it for system code and high performance libraries.

Thanks. I'm proficient in quite a bit more languages than that; I started a long time ago; before PCs on a Texas Instruments computer called the TI-99/4A. So while I don't actively use most of them; but I still can read the code, and probably wouldn't take me too long to write code, here's some examples: Basic, Assembler, COBOL, PL/1, RPG, CL, SmallTalk, dBase, Rexx, Pascal, Basic, Visual Basic, VB.Net, Python, Perl, PHP, Ruby, Delphi, ...

The 1st two languages were the most difficult, there after it's a matter of looking for syntax that matches the functionality you're used to; C based languages are probably the easiest.

When I was job hunting end of last year I came across one or two Delphi job advertisements out there. Back in 2001 in CTI it was either Delphi or VB. That's quite a list!

Interesting, thanks.

I suggest reading this critique by Keith S. Thompson (no relation to Ken) as well:
