I am looking to start learning a programing language. I do have a ton of experience with basic and some with c++, but not enough to use it in gaining employment. I am debating on what i want to start learning and would like to know what you think the most employable language is. Thank you!
 
Java or C would be a good place to start. Java is both powerful and easy to learn, and pretty much everything around now is based on C. Perl, Python, and Ruby are popular languages and they're good for learning on the side. After gaining some experience you should definitely learn C++. It's what all the major software vendors are using today, including Microsoft, Apple, Mozilla, and Adobe.
 
Java with Struts, J2EE, NetBeans - not sure which ones are the most popular frameworks right now, but you can look that up. Java web development seems like a lucrative area to go into right now.

Perl is quick and dirty, not sure if there would be any prospects of a secure job.

C++ is a solid language and is used a lot in server and client-side dev still, but is harder in my opinion to really get than Java.
