    I wanted to start learning programming, so I can made an application and build a website on my own. There are many types of programmings out there to start from, such as: visual basic, c++, c#, html, php, ASP, css, java and probably more. Which do you think should come first from start to finish for a beginner to start learning programming?

    Start with C++ then move onto C# once you feel comfortable.

    Most of the languages there are Object-Oriented, which are more complicated to learn, but much more powerful. Each has its own purpose. It all depends on what you are looking to get into. Depends on what kind of programming you want to do, that will determine the most appropriate languages to study.

    If you want to build a website, then you need to learn HTML, CSS and Javascript as a minimum.

    If you want to build a 'clever' website, not just a slightly modified Wordpress install with a few plugins, then you also need to learn a back end developer language like PHP, Ruby, ASP .NET etc.

    firstly, you need to analyze what are your priorities; whether you want to create static or dynamic website. if static, html, css and javascript are enough, but if you are interested in dynamic website, you need to learn a programming language like php, .net etc

    I think you should start with Java. It is like you start to think like computer. Programming is not for everyone. It is hard path, but reward is amazing. Read lots of articles, and don't give up. You may get boring, then give it a rest. Don't rely on one language, and learn to think like computers.

    To build simple static websites:
    HTML > CSS > Javascript

    To build .NET web applications:
    HTML > CSS > Javascript > XML > AJAX > VB or C# > ASP.NET > SQL Server

    To build open source web apps:
    HTML > CSS > Javascript > XML > AJAX > PHP or Java > MySQL

    Like said above, it truly is dependent on your use. For the sake of pure programming, I would recommend java/c++. But to build a website, I would learn html(not really a langauge)/javascript/php,etc. in that order. Note that java can also be used to embed applets in your website.

    do not start with C++ unless you want your eyes to bleed, start with scripting languages like Python, Perl, PHP, and learning UNIX is a must for any good user. Then move on to the compiling languages like C, C++, etc.

    Nearly every community college and university starts out with beginning c++. I recommend this, but, go at whatever interests you most. Read, practice, read, and keep practicing.

    Good luck!

    Please specify what type of website you want to build. if it is a static website, you'll have to learn HTML and CSS. if want to create database backed one, you'll need php, javascript, ajax etc. of course there are other languages as mentioned by you.
