I disagree that java is somehow harder than PHP to learn. In fact it would maybe take less time since he now understands certain concepts that transfer right over from PHP... He's got a strong grasp of OOP in my opinion which is what Java is all about.
Java apps have a "java feel" because people commonly use the default swing themes. You can totally customize it or make your app look native. You probably don't realize some of the apps that are java, because they look & feel totally native.

I agree. I think Alex made that comment assuming PHP wasn't my first programming language.
This is tough. I'm still getting two opinions from two people that I hold equally as very knowledgeable in this area.

I think I've decided to go with Java. Being a slightly higher-level language, it should be an easier step down. I'll probably go dive C++ at a later date.
Many thanks for your input Josh, Alex, and Pytrin.

It'll certainly make you more employable. I have seen so many career offers around mobile development, facebook applications, etc. I'm strongly considering diving in myself.
Cheers,
Alex

Microsoft's public newsgroups are free. If you go to the Visual C++ Community page on MSDN, you can find a web interface to the newsgroups and a good list of other C++ community websites.
Thanks ......

Just go with C#

It's the poor man's C++ but happens to be my favorite programming language.

"In C++ it's harder to shoot yourself in the foot, but when you do, you blow off your whole leg."
Imagine what you can do with C#
Indeed I managed to shoot my self in the head with a "flock of flying around events"
