Well, .NET isn't really a language. It's a framework. Think of it like a library for programs.

C++ is probably the best to learn if you really want to understand programming.

Java is the best marketable skill right now.

do you have any Pdfs that teach you how to use C++ and Java?

I don't personally, but it should be hard to find documentation. If you want to do C++ using the .NET framework, using Windows I'm assuming, you can download Visual Studios Express from Microsofts website.

C# + .net: easiest to get into
java: big money, but a steep learning curve to do more than just the lanquage and a lot to hold in your head to do enterprise work.

I forgot about C#...

C# is Microsofts "answer" to Java after Sun sued them for breaching their contract. Personally, I see C# as a fad. Java is probably here to stay because it runs independently of the platform (even though its SO SLOW) and C and C++ aren't going anywhere.

Bruce Eckel's Thinking in C++ and Thinking In Java are free downloads and should give you some ideas
