Let me add. I use only C++ nowdays, but I recommend starting from C (and possibly avoiding Java). If you want to be a programmer you GOTTA know what's happening inside. C is what happening inside. C is a well-dressed assembly. Then, when you know what's happening inside you can do what you want. I don't say "learn to develop complex apps in C", but "learn to program in C and then to build complex apps in anything you wish". Gian. .
