COBOL, or COmmon Business-Oriented Language, is a language that is not used very much any more for new applications, but is being supported by a number of large companies for banking and payroll applications. It was developed by a committee the late 1950's and it's biggest claim to fame was how it handled field specifications and the fact that it was designed for businesses. [1]
C++ is an enhancement to the C programming languages and was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup. It is still in widespread use in a number of applications due to it's flexibility through Object Oriented Programming and powerful langauge set. [2]

COBOL is an old language from the 1970's. It stands for COmmon Business Oriented Language. It's mostly run on old IBM mainframes and minicomputers, like the AS/400 or the iSeries.
C++ is an object oriented language used primarily in the development of PC-based applications.

if you want to get into c++ then check out this site:

don't go into cobol unless you really need to, it's a legacy system. even c++ is becoming legacy, but still worth learning.
