    what next...

    I've done a lot of vb now and want to go into something different.
    I used to do a lot of C++ so I'm very familiar with OOP, pointers, polymorphism, encapsulations, lists, etc.

    I'm very familiar and have done a lot of work with SQL Server 2k and tons of work in the notorious and crippled access 97/2k/XP.

    I love to work with client server applications (always connecting to some sort of db). So my question is where should I go from here...opinions and ideas welcome. C# or Visual C++ ??

    Sounds like you could use a little web app experience. I'd suggest ASP.NET, as you could learn two "birds with one stone" - web stuff and .NET. Download from www.asp.net (a Microsoft site) a program called ASP.NET Web Matrix. It is a free "beta" of an IDE for ASP.NET. It was created by Microsoft's ASP team in C#, VB.NET, etc.

    Also, PHP seems to be all the rage too. Probably wouldn't hurt to learn that too.

    Hmm...

    Im not really into the web though...I like algorithms and analysing them and stuff like efficiency and network programming even.

    Maybe you're right I should look into the web ? The problem is the web to me is limited to what I can do (based on a majority of functions avaliable to desktop / client server apps).

    I could be wrong, but maybe you're right I need to explore the realms of the web more.

    .NET either C# or VB (I prefer C#).
    Being educated does not make you intelligent.

    What's your point? Do you just want to learn a new language, or do you want to undertake a new challenge. If it's just a new language you want, I would suggest either .NET or Spanish, both will serve you fairly well. If you are looking for a new challenge, consider writing a game. There are always interesting algorithms to work on in that area.
