Default what programming language next?
I have a year of C++ training and have used it for basic computer programs, mainly for running calculations too large for the calculator. I have also worked with robotics using interactive C which is similar to C. I know TI basic (worthless except for writing calc programs to do the work for you). What next? I was think of something web based but not sure.

Java if you want another programming language. For something different you could try python or perl. javascript or CSS if you want something web based

If you really want to have a fun time with a language and really see how programming things work try LISP/Scheme. Its a beautiful language and much more fun to work with, I think, than C variants

C# would be a great jump from a solid base in C++. Some scripting language like Python or Perl might be good as well, but I'm a nub in those (sadly )

Learn Java 2 or C# Both are strong languages to learn

Is this strictly for pleasure or are you trying to increase marketable skills?

There's a long way to go before you're done w/ C++. Don't let anyone tell you different, Java/C# (or anything .NET) is a intellectual step down from C++. Give C a whirl and see if you like procedural coding instead of OO (a glorified commenting system is all OO is).

Some SQL would do you good, or any DB interface. AJAX is fun to play around with (not really a language but a pretty cool tech).

Now if you really want a challenge, try some embedded assembly. And get ready to hate binary logic like you never knew you could.
