</div>languages: its easiest to start with a language that is flexible. php, ruby, python, and javascript are decent choices. you can be writing programs in minutes.<br>
<br>
Java is great to know, but usually better suited for big or well-defined projects. Very formal and organized. Used for android mobile development.<br>
<br>
C++ is low level, and better suited for things close to hardware (writing hardware drivers etc). It can be remarkably difficult to debug.<br>
<br>
There's also the newer languages, like erlang, scala, etc. There's always something new to learn.<br>
