Which programming languages?

    Hi!

    For all those in the programming business, what are the best languages to learn today? Im out of college with 3 years having done a Computer Services Management Bs, which up until the finally year was programming intensive and have been stuck in the helpdesk support roles since. As I had thought at the time, I needed to get my feet wet in support before being considered for a software position.
    Now Im looking to get back to what I loved best, but since Java, C++, OOP, VB and the like are most probably relects of history now, Id be interested in diving into something more related to what the market wants today.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!
    Quick Edit, Ive had a snoop around the roles available on jobs.ie etc, but employers seem to be trigger happy just listing specific languages etc.

    A lot of companies like .Net (asp and c# mostly), but c/++ and java enterprise are still pretty popular.

    It might be worth your while asking the folks in the Development forum. They're a helpful bunch :)

    Thanks guys, might just copy and paste the above in there. I had a quick look for a section more fitting but didnt spot that one!

    I was lucky enough to get a year of .net in college but never c#, it seems its quite easy to learn if you have a grasp of C++!

    Our platforms are .net and coldfusion.
