I have been working as an AS400/RPG programmer for the past 5+ years. Now I would like to move onto some technology which is more modern. Along with the RPG programming language, I am also familiar with SQL (Though not an SQL Ninja).



Also, I do understand general programming stuff like conditions, loops, a bit of object orientation etc. etc.



I was thinking about learning Splunk and moving into a related career.



Can you please advise of this sounds like a good move? Does learning Splunk require extensive use of modern technologies such as Java/Web development etc. ?



Also, can one make a career out of Splunk alone? Would knowledge in something additional be required along with Splunk?

Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar.
