Okay  
I am designing websites for clients.  
I use Flash MX and Photoshop 7  
I only speak English.  
I have decided to pick up a lanquage, I am leaning toward Java…?  
What is step one to becoming bilingual behind the monitor?  
Or is it even worth it?  
Thanks in advance

there is a major difference between Java and JavaScript. If you are going into web design, I suggest JavaScript, since it is very similar to AS, and will be a nice bridge to other Object Oriented languages…

personally, I have JS, because of cross-browser issues, but I have to use it…

others may have diff opinions tho…
