Okay, so I'm trying to think about what'll be best for me in general to work on first, once I'm done  Exams. I can either learn to program in Python, which is nice, clean, good for scripty stuff and fairly portable.
I could also learn Java, which seems to be a pretty worthwhile endeavor for something I might want to put on my Resume. On the other hand, the actual language looks like bureaucracy in code form.

Otherwise, i could focus on C and C++ and just keep doing what I'm doing and learning them in more depth. I was thinking of learning a few more data structures, I don't have a whole lot of experience using trees and that'd be easiest to learn in a language I already know.

So I leave it to you what I should do.

I think Java is good. From what I can see there's a demand for it as well as C/C++

Java and all Sun stuff is pretty cool, I'd follow that one.

Stay on C and C++.

Or you could try and learn that iPhone App shit. I tried it, and failed miserably.

Stick with C family.

I wish Java would die in a fire, it's such a bloated platform. Takes ages to load the environment, and even once that's done stuff takes ages and feels unresponsive :/

C/C++ if you want to work with software development.

C# - the language of the future.

Really? A Microsoft Language that's mostly just Java with a bit more syntactic sugar? Because I'd prefer my jobs to be current, not future...

I'd learn Java. Although it's not a good language (hard to use/old), everyone requires that you know how to use it  and it looks good on your resume.

I would have to disagree with this one. I have gone through 5 different companies in the last 6 months and they ALL had .NET programming positions (C#).

The .NET platform is robust and offers a ton of different functionality to programmers. Businesses are beginning to utilize this. Plus, the biggest retail platform on the market is still clearly Microsoft so they can push their products pretty well.

One example of a successful commercial piece of software that might have been coded in C# is TurboTax. It also may very well have been done in visual c++ but what I know for sure is that the .NET libraries were used in its creation
