PHP for making money but VB6 is also good for applications

this thread is completely opinionated and will never result in a definitive answer. Its like asking which country cooks the best food, or whats the best football team. Its completely dependent on somebody's opinion. Questions like this are not allowed on programming sites such as Stack Overflow for this exact reason. There is no answer.

This is how it will be if taught in a school, chronological order....

1. Pseudo code or programming logic
2. C
3. C++ or Java
4.C# - easiest to work with

The problem is if you try to learn whatever language without actually thinking of the logic or algorithms behind it you will never master anything.... so try learing how to write alogrithms and understand the logic behind it, then it will be really easy to learn any language.

in another words, whichever you learn, you will not be wrong.
so relax

PHP is only good because of its ubiquitous nature, every web hosting company supports it out of the box. From a design and usability standpoint it's quite lousy though, and it's extremely domain specific. I know it only because 90% of what I do involves the web, and I can use it on literally any web hosting account.

Your poll doesn't mention it, but I would go with Python. Its batteries included philosophy and the ease of installing new modules(with easy_install) make it essentially the swiss army knife of programming.
