I program VB6 (self-taught) and I'm thinking of doing a programming course...
Which language is the most advantageous at this point in time? (1)
C, C++, C# or VB.NET
If C, what should a student be knowledgeable on and understand before attempting to learn it? (2)
Where can I find a 'Hello World' tutorial for the C languages? (3)
TIA.

It all depends on what you want 2 do. If I was you, I would go with one of the .NET languages.
Right -- Two down, 2 to go! :D
C# and VB.NET
Pro's and Con's?
Well, this comes down to personal preference. Many people say that if you are coming from a vb background, you should stick with VB.NET. Me personally, I am a visual basic developer, but I decided to dive into C# b/c I think vb.net is to verbose. I'll like the much simpler syntax that C# offers. After a few weeks of programming in C#, the syntax will become second nature.
Do you think they are equally 'powerful' ?
I do like 'diversifying' my skills, so maybe C# would be better, as it would probably be easier to move from C# to VB.NET at a later stage than it would VB.NET to C# ?
Thanks for your help.
I can't say that one is more powerful, but there are some things that the C# language supports that vb.net does not (operator overloading). I've also noticed there is a greater demand (where I live at least...) for C# developers.
Great help, Thank you! ;)
