start with ruby or python! learn c and/or java later.

why?

because learning programming languages should be like learning how handle bicycles.

• first you learn how to ride the bicycle.
• then you learn how to dismantle the wheels, repair the gearshift and do all the complicated stuff that could brake a lot of things at lots of places.

handling the bare metal is so complicated, tedious, boring and error prone, that you need to know how the fun part about your bicycle feels - riding it.

so before you start hacking network protocols in c, you rather want to create neat websites in ruby.

or games.
