Best First Programming Language
I'm have a hard time deciding which programming language I should learn first. I have a friend who learned Java and said it's relatively simple, and it seems to have more compatibility than something like C or C++, but then I hear the C# will. My friend is using Java to make computer games, and if that's what I decide I'd want to do most, I've also heard Blitz Basic is great for game programming. PERL is I guess considered a programming language, and that sounds like fun because then maybe I could do some CGI stuff for my website... Anyone have a opinion of any of the above languages? I need help deciding where to start.
