Any background experience (even years ago) with any other language? Some languages have similarities so the learning curve may be shorter...

I thought Delphi was one of the easiest languages to learn and you can download a trial version and there are tons of tutorials on line. However, I don't know if any jobs exist for it. Did you rule out dotnet entirely? Just wondering because you can download the express version and there are so many examples and tuturials available. I was learning c# and will switch to vb.net here soon.

>While I'm looking for another Foxpro contract, what would be the most marketable language for an old coder to learn? I like HTML/Javascript type stuff, but most of my experience is Foxpro. I know this will open up some debate, but I'm really not looking for anything very deep on comparisons and how this one handles strings better than that one; just what do you think would be a good direction to go so I can minimize my time between contracts/jobs.
