You could do worse than learning Java and/or Javascript. You don't have to be a Java zealot to benefit from understanding Java and the fairly similar interpreted browser version, Javascript. You'll learn about the dreaded ; semicolon which is also useful for C#. When I look at C# I see *numerous* similarities with Java. And there is Java work today and a shortage of Java people so you can probably get paid to learn.

If you learn Javascript you can still use VFP for backend and/or web database stuff. Take a look at Rick Strahl's dHTML rendering classes ( http:/www.west-wind.com ). They take a VFP form and create a data-aware web page that looks *extremely* similar to it, complete with button hooks etc so your server can "press" buttons on the form when the user does on the browsewr. Combined with Javascript, that allows you to have quite complex apps up and running "same day" as opposed to weeks of "re-engineering" and debugging.

Also probably worth focusing on "non-language" stuff like web authoring tools. I like dreamweaver and fireworks. That's a persistent skill no matter what happens in the language wars.

JMHO.
