Which programming languages offer the best carreer opportunities?

I am interested in software development as a carreer. Which programming languages should I focus on learning?

Specific languages are good for getting specific jobs, but for a career you'll need more than that. The working set of languages changes every few years... my advice would be to learn the big ones now (meaning C, C++, C# and Java), as well as have some knowledge of some of the more esoteric stuff out there (get a handle on aspect oriented things, try your hand at haskell, etc).

At the end of the day, it's experience and the ability to learn quickly that matters.

Java, Oracle and FoxPro at the moment. C and C++ are unfortunately losing their grasp.

C++, or SQL I would say its a toss up between those two.

If you are interested in business software the Microsoft .NET family: Visual Basic and the rest. If you use MS Office you may want to start with macros in Visual Basic for applications. The alternative is Java: also free and powerful. Join web forums ask a lot of questions. Software changes constantly so delve in it and keep swimming :-)

Java, Oracle and FoxPro
if you are looking for a short term course ...then SAP would be the best..
I would suggest SAP-ABAP

and best of luck!!

Java, c/c++, c#, vb.net are all good to know for professional software development. It also might be useful to SQL for databases, and XML is used a lot too.
