See, that's kind of what I'm thinking! Instead of worrying about having to learn the latest and greatest thing, I'm thinking I just need to brush up on my programming skills and if I master any one language, it's because I understand the logic and can see the program in my head just like a flow chart.

That's sort of why I have been going back and trying to refresh my memory with the languages that I have already been familiar with. At least I've seen the syntax before, so I can concentrate more on the logic flow.
