I reccomend looking into one of the .NET languages (either C# or VB). UT has it's own .NET sectionwhere most of the participants come from a VFP background. So download the free version of VS2005 and start coding :)

>So here I am wanting to explore a new language beyond VFP but not knowing which language would make the best use of my time and offer the greatest fulfillment. My objectives are partially business and partially personal (I'd like to invest in something fun that would allow me to create a simple game or two.) (I know, I can do that with VFP also.)
