Go to PHP/MySql next. You're not going to enjoy making desktop apps.

Have a great day!

I excelled at python and am racing through PERL, am looking at java, c++ and html5, even delphi.

Depends on what your goal is. Impress your girlfriend? Get a job in San Francisco? Get a job in India? Get a job in your own basement?

BASIC, then you can use your skills to convert Speccy games into Win 7 ones and make yourself a fortune.

Java or C++ (java is easier). If you go the C++ route you'll want to look into the Qt framework. Or you can get into PyQt and use your existing Python. But there are so many options.. so much depends on what you want to do.

Those aren't programming languages. They are scripting languages.

If you want to learn an actual programming, I would recommend C. Once you know C, you truly know how a program works, and you can learn any language.
