in thread OT: C Perl and every employer wants .net and asp

You should focus on learning programming skills, not just programming languages.

I started learning COBOL (now I'm really showing my age) then learned and used various forms of BASIC, started with C (wasn't really my thing), had a dab at Java (definitely not my thing) and finally "settled" on PERL (and I'm forgetting that I also use SQL, XML, XSLT, ...)

The thing is: in all languages there are the same basic skills which come back over and over again and you will find that you will "learn" a language faster and faster the more experience you have.
