I am hoping to brush up on my programming. It's been awhile, but what do you think are the top programming languages in demand today? I am especially interested if anyone thinks there is a different need in Korea compared to the US.

It REALLY depends on what you want to do. Different languages have different purposes. this would be my top 5:

I'd say:

C Sharp
Java
VB (You'll run into VB everywhere.)
Perl
PHP

Take a C Sharp or Java course. Once you learn 1 programming language well, the others kind of fall into place. If you learn C Sharp, then Java should be pretty easy.

VB you could probably learn by yourself.

Web based you should learn:

Javascript (not the same as Java)
AJAX
Python
PHP

Thanks for all the responses. Now the hard part: can you recommend three books on Java, C#, and asp.net?

Css also belongs there even though it might not technically be a programming language, but it often works hand in hand with php on advanced websites.

C, C++, Java, Assembler

Once you know those, you can easily learn almost any other programming language known to man.
