Programming help?

[TheDewOfMountains]

What's an easy first programming language? I am currently very good with HTML (So is everyone. ) and I am beginning Java. Should I do Java, or something else? People with experience would be most appreciated.

Honestly I'd start out with something like C/C++ and learn the lower-level languages first, so that you can understand how the languages work. After you learn the lower level stuff, then move onto higher level stuff (object oriented programming, classes, libraries, etc.). Then you can move onto another language that's higher level, like C# or Java.

But that's just my opinion, anyway.

Thanks. I'll start with C/C++

This is the book I learned off of:
