Your probably starting programming right?, I started with QBASIC, well acctually an earlier version of BASIC called Color BASIC, which was the standard programming language for a mid 1980s machine called the TRS-80 made by Radio-Shack.
Then I later migrated to QBASIC and learnt structured programming, then to C++ and learnt Object Orientated Programing.
C++ is esoteric and noobs are generally prone to confusion, there's always plenty of time to learn a language like C++, but try not to go with ANY OOP language if your inexperienced with other languages, although that's a general rule, one's ability to pick up a language is dependant upon the person.
Anyway, I'm interested in PERL that David mentioned, I've heard about it, but I don't understand why there needs to be 2 languages (PHP being the second) for the same thing. I'd be intersted to hear anyones opinion on it.
And this other programming language; Python, I have also heard about it before, but haven't had any exposure to it.
