For all you Computer Programmers:
I've been doing some Christmas shopping, (for myself

) , and I've been currently getting into Computer Programming. I'm learning Visual Basic.net at the moment, and it's quite fun so I decided to purchase another coding book on another language....C++
I was excited at first for C++ as I've heard alot about it, however, I looked at the syntax of the langauge and I wasn't happy. It doesn't follow the object oriented approach that I'm used to (and more fond of) as in vb.net. Is C++ valuable? Or should I learn something else, that I would enjoy more like Java or C#?
