How can you start a career in software development?
Learn the tools you can and should use, as stated above, then work on completing simple projects that use as many of them (rightly so, not just to use them) as possible so you can see how they fit into an entire application. In my opinion, building a complete simple app that is production ready is better then producing parts of a complex application that isn't ready to be used by the end user.

What are the best ways to learn software engineering skills?
You must "do." If you just learn but don't implement what you learn, you're not going to be nearly as successful (if even successful at all) as you will be if you practice. Personal projects, going through tutorials are two good ways. Better is being in a company where your work directly aligns with your desired career direction so you get paid for your time and get to practice on what you want to do. If you're in college or are between jobs, practicing with personal projects is vital. Creating a simple full stack application that is set up for cicd (including testing) and is deployed with a live interface people can hit will show you at least a shallow layer of what a team has to think about for at least most of the application lifecycle

How can you determine the most in-demand programming languages in your area?
Looking at job postings and seeing what language is listed first in postings that have multiple languages or technologies listed. Do research on major companies in the area and what tech stack they use and pick one that must use. All that said, get your fundamentals for software engineering in place and switching to another tech stack will be much easier. Generally, I find it's not so much what language was used that matters, but how much the company values fundamental principles of software engineering. Any tech stack can become spaghetti code if people aren't being diligent in how they design, implement, and maintain software.

A workshop for APL, "A Programming Language", that runs the course of the academic year. Teaches basics of APL and how it is applied in the field.
APL is a vector based programming language that allows for very powerful calculations to be performed efficiently.

The interface works based on the individual asset level (i.e., user selects a hospital, a police station or an airport). It returns optimal candidate technologies (back up power essentially) in addition population counts affected, number of co-located substations, index reliability criteria, and number of hospitals.
