All courses are "hot". Technology is determined by the project requirements and hence no single course will ever satisfy this. Rather than approaching it as a vocation consider programming as a hobby. At the top of the list, even after nearly thirty years sits LISP. LISP is a advanced high level language. Some call it the mother of all languages. Some say Java is half way to LISP. There is a lot of interest in LISP these days because of its flexibility. Earlier LISP was not considered due to the heavy hardware requirements. But now processing power is increasing and is cheaply available so people are looking at LISP seriously for real world applications. It will take some more time but definitely LISP will become an important (if not the most important) language within the next decade or so. As far as I know there are no courses available in LISP but an MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) text book on Scheme - a version of LISP is available online. See sources section for links. I have heard that people who know LISP pick up other programming languages easily as most languages only implement parts of the concepts that are standard to LISP.
As a programmer you will need to know at least two three languages to be useful to prospective employers an you will need to excel in at least one. You should also understand databases and be able to write SQL queries in your code. VB.Net/C# is fine. Knowing Windows technologies will definitely get you a job but it will not differentiate you from the rest.
LAMP (Linux-Apache-MySQL-Perl/PHP) is another set of technologies that is gaining a lot of traction. Understand and work with AJAX development. The future of all applciations is web enabled rich gui interfaces. Examples are Gmail, Zoho, etc..
To be a good programmer you need to understand why a particular language is used. What are the other alternatives. Why you have used this particular language and what are the benefits over the other languages. In another scenario maybe some other language would be better.
Programming is an art. An act of creation. With the right mind set, very creative, very satisfying.
All the best.

java is always hot, as you get from the icon ;)
Security -specially Network is the hottest
RDBMS, specially DBA courses in good demand
but don't think doing a course will suffice, experience is what's in actual demand.
