grbrsmith: What programming languages should I learn as a High School Student?
I am a High School Junior, will be a senior is 1 day, and I am wondering which programming languages I should get acquainted with before entering college. I am planning on going into computer science & informatics and going into the security side of things. I have been told that I don’t really need to learn any but I’d still like to be ahead a little going in. I have already taken a class on VB and am currently working on some MySQL & C++. What else should I look into?

Java knowledge would be nice as well probably.
I would place would go for Java next because it is common, portable, and versatile. After that, learn how to do web apps. For that, you need some HTML and either:
1) PHP & SQL
or
2) a “.NET language” (eg: VB .NET or C#) with an understanding of the ASP .NET web development concepts.
