I'm a newbie too, but it seems to me that if you're going to leave on a 
trip, it's best you choose your destination ahead of time. In other words, 
what do you want to *do*? Certain programs are better at certain things 
than others are: none are optimized for jack-of-all-trades. Consider 
choosing your direction- what you want to accomplish- *then* choose your 
language. HTH,
