I think I learned as being a last resort but in the end found out I enjoyed it. So, I don't think it matter what language you learn first as long as you learn the basics of programing. I would suggest learning more about C++ if you feel you have a little knowledge about that. It may lead you into LabView.
Here is what I don't get, once you learn C++ why would you want to move to LabView? Makes 0% sense to me... Its like getting a Lambo then trading it for a Civic in my view... If you understand, why restrict yourself while you have almost full control with C++ then putting on training wheels?
