Learn "c" First

C++ would be the best option as java and others could be learnt or understood easily if you have a strong base in C++

If u r a beginner then start with easier one such as java script or with c,after two or 3 months u can start studying c#(c sharp) best choice nowadays.

Easiest one in order VB.NET , then c#, java , c++. All r equally powerful
if u ask me c# is the choice

Start with C first , because it provides basic knowledge for other languages, C is the first step to learn programming language , and than you can do java , VB etc.

if choice is between c++ and java, then directly start with C++, i dont think there is any need of learning c as you want to finish this things at the earliest. concentrate on only c++ preferably vc++ 6.0

C is procedural programming
C++ and C#,java are object oriented programming.(but sometimes c++ is procedural)

C# is the new one which combines the power of C++ and easiness of VB

grip properly on C and C++...first.. (reference books are Let's C by yashwant kanetkar, Teach yourself C++ tata mcgrawhill production)... consider these two as ur programming base... then after a 1 yr or so.. jump on JAVA (coz JAVA has its core in the Object Oriented Programming which is greatly provided by C++)
