You are definitely right, i am the kind of person that wants to always learn new things, not only computing but in every aspect of life. But i don't want to spend too much time on something that will be only slight use to me.

I had some time to reflect on what others have said and even though i was thinking of a lot of alternatives which might have a future such as iPhone development, i don't think that's what i would like to do and it was a great feedback for me that i should go with what i like to do. I have always been interested in the .Net framework and c# and in these days i have started exploring a bit Silverlight. Again considering other feedback that the tool is just the means to get what i really want, i believe i enjoy building games and puzzles. Therefore i might try mobile development, maybe Windows Phone 7 to also take advantage of c#.

Hello everyone, I would like to start learning some language from ground up and have a pretty good knowledge about it and do freelance work and maybe in the future build a start-up company. Keeping in mind the technology trends, what do you think would be the best investment for such an adventure. Some options i have in mind are: iPhone programming, Silverlight, .Net etc. Can you give me some insight on this. Thank you all
