There is a lot of question's to be answered after get something from the main one, but this question might be answered by someone with experience and probably went thought this. I've learned some programming languages in high school, not too deeply, but I understand some concepts of it.

The course that I've made was Computer Management and I start learning the famous Pascal language and then Vb.Net, Html and Php but unfortunately the my teachers were not too good as we expected. Basically, we had too learn by ourselves. Long story short I improved my skills when I start develop the final project which was built in Vb.Net.

Obviously we have to think about the future and choose something which allows us to grow on our jobs. I've read some good articles related to this content and there is a bunch of acceptable information out there.
There are a couple of paths to go and you have to pick one of them: Mobile Development, Website Development or Desktop Development and if you wanna get results and grown on it you have to select one. After that hardly pick you have so select a language to learn and focus your precious time on it.

So, I am in that part of the process. Desktop Development is the main path and where I wanna improve my skills. The question is, what language should I learn inside of this Desktop Development?
 
When I started out, it was C++ with Pascal on the side as an 'also language" of diminishing returns.

Java is the underlying basis for all things internet, without it, most browsers can't function.

HTML5 is now the new kid on the block because of Oracle's exorbitant license fees to use Java

but, I don't do any down and dirty programming anymore, I only use the apps that can create what I want with "click and switch" mouse work and type in the Actual Text to say what I want.

my last website was done in WordPress, and it did far more, than I ever could have done from scratch.

Thank you for your kindly reply I appreciate it a a lot. So, what do you recommend for me?

Ummm,

I am now retired, and a "user of PCs"

as I mentioned, I don't do low level programming anymore. In fact, I have not since 1983 when I was doing very low level stuff in 6502 binary level Assembly Language.

a lot will be determined with what your target audience is, and what type of devices they will be using to access your information.

I am going to defer to some one who is currently doing hi-level programming...
