It always helps to have a project to learn on. Getting paid to learn is so much better. <g> Java? Too much like C. I think it would drive me crazy. Case-sensitivity - puke! REALbasic, Servoy, IdeaBlade, Open Laszlo, Python (even though it's case sensitive, too), but not an MS product. I'm tired of supporting the behemoth. They have way too much power over this industry. I wish the U.S. government had split them up.
