Even better learn C++, its pretty standard in the business and better than C
(notice the ++) Java and javascript is based on so if you learn C++, web
applications should be a cinch for you. If you are still in high school,
look for business organizations such as BPA with competitions including C++
or other computer programming. All i knew was how to make a simple payroll
program and I got a free ride to national competition in Philedelphia. :)
C++ is much more improved than C and it will get you really far. I have a
friend who works for a telecommunications company and makes around 30 dollars
an hour. (he's in 10th grade)
Just a thought on why to learn C++ instead of ASM.
