[AccessD] Access/SQL

Sheesh!! You gotta be multi-lingual? 

I think I'll urge him to do something simpler and easier.  Like nuclear
physics or brain surgery.

JAVA, JavaScript, C#, Ruby, C/C++, Assembler, HTML, CSS...

Maybe he should better start/switch to C/C+ and Assembler - then the other
languages from the above list will be relatively easy to learn and use for
him...

Well, I'm so happy I waited to learn VB.NET.  It died while I was waiting.
One vote for the procrastinators.

My kid is 13.  He's heavy into JAVA now.  But what should he learn for the
future?  What's going to be the platform du jour in 5 years? 10 years?

Mark,

VB.Net is OK.
I can use both C# and VB.NET interchangeably as many .NET developers do.
But I do prefer C#.
Nowadays in my development I'm using 99.99% of the time C# (for several
years now).
There are also F#, IronPython and IronRuby, which can be used on .NET
development platform...
Even more programming languages will come to .NET platform in the future...

Even Fortran can be used within .NET -

Thank you.

P.S. I'd guess "new powerful webdev platform" uses C# by default but you can
always switch to VB.NET or use both...

VB.NET is dead, dead, dead.
Everyone has moved to C#...much more elegant.
On Microsoft's new, most powerful webdev platform one can only use C#.
Recent stat from DICE.COM: 68 VB.NET openings vs. 162 C# openings....almost
3:1 !!!

Note: Even John Colby has moved over to C#.
