I am starting to do some development in C++ which includes the use of COM interfaces in Windows. I have to make a decision to learn or not to learn the COM technology. So, I want to ask if the COM programming is still widely used or is it rather outdated? Is it still a good idea to invest ones time into learning COM?

I intend to learn a new language for better concurrency.
Erlang is a old but powerful language with a runtime to support its whole concurrency system as well as a well-known library, OTP. This is more like JVM.
Go is another language good at concurrency, while it's more like C.
My major field is about C/S and B/S. What should I prefer?

What do you need to learn OpenGL? Do you need to learn C/C++ first? I have experience with C but none with C++.
I would suggest using c++ due to it having an object oriented side, but the opengl is cross platform
http://www.opengl.org/resources/bindings/
You can use mostly C with very little C++.
I would suggest looking at nehe.gamedev.net for some tutorials to help out.
