I 'm currently studying C but whicht languages are hot at the moment or will be in the future.In my opinion it is best to first learn C,C++ and Visual Basic.These languages are a good base to learn other languages but on the other hand,do they guarantee a job?Few people say they do,other say that they are old languages and that Java is the future.And what about Cobol??So what is best,study C,C++ and Visual Basic or just Java which is a language that takes a long time to study???
