Hi all,
I have some doubts about this stuff in english grammar:
What is more proper (or more frequently used) ?

He is considered to be a good programmer.

Or

He is considered good programmer


What is better? What is used more often? Are there any examples in which one of these ways can't be used?

In my Lingea Lexicon there is only the way with ...to be... but I see the latter one on Internet as well. In school teacher told us only about the first one too.

Thanks for all replies!
