Proprietary languages were used for both database, and server side programming. Took requirements and turned them into a project.I was required to learn the new language and make small programs using the language to fulfill project goals. Worked without any orientation, as most of my coworkers knew about as much as I knew on any of the projects. The language is used for integrating two software so that they can talk to each other. This required learning new enterprise software quite often.
