Re: Starting programming...

Whatever language you decide to learn first, I hope you enjoy the adventure. Learning programming will change your view of the world.

There is a fairly significant difference between object oriented programming and structured procedural programming. I would recommend learning each style fairly early on so you don't get too set in your ways before learning the other style (your head might explode otherwise). Object oriented and structured procedural each have their own place in the world and I don't see either of them dying in the near future.

Good luck.
