I learned Java while in college, though only the beginner's courses. Next was JavaScript for web, and also VB and ASP.NET with C#. Lastly, I learned PHP during a senior project because my teammates used it.

Regarding .NET, I do tend to shy away from MS technologies when I can get away with it, but these 2 classes were easy-A; I barely learned anything in them. Nothing against them in particular though. I've heard some good things about ASP.NET with C#.

Anyway, I ended up sticking with JS and PHP. With JS, I eventually ended up learning MeteorJS, and recently I started learning Laravel and Vue for my newest project -- all fun stuff.

Edit: I'll add BASH to this list. I use this at work occasionally for a few things, and it definitely does come in handy.
