    I do hope that you don't need a teacher for any of those languages because I plan to use youtube and Ebooks only.

    You can learn a lot using books, but I'd definitely recommend physical books. It's much easier on the eyes and I'm sure you'll learn quicker if the material is actually in your hands.

    I have C++ in a nutshell by O'reilly, which are fantastic books - they're cheap too. You can get them second hand off amazon for a few dollars.

    According to my opinion, PHP is the best language to learn. Actually PHP is a scripting language. It is easy to understand and learn. PHP has a very good future.

    I think you choose between C++ or Java or Visual basic.NET. if you learn one of those it will be easy for you to learn other programming languages.

    U should start first by learning basical langages like C C++ ... and once you master one of those langages, you will be able to learn any other language. But it also depends on your orientations and what level you are expecting to achieve. Good luck :)

    You should start by C then C++,then html+css+php+mysql.
    Because you are knowledge less in programming then C will be best for you.

    You could easily go with Python. I think it is the Angelina Jolie of programming languages.
    And you can do almost anything with it: web development, GUI programming, scripting (for servers)...
    I use it almost on a daily basis.

    It depends on what you want to develop.
    If you want to develop web applications I recommand PHP.
    If you want to develop cross platform desktop/web apps then go for JAVA.
    If you want to develop in Windows environment then learn .NET with C#.

    Questions like this just lead to another question -- what do you want to DO? It's like asking "what tool should I use" from the choices of a hammer, a screwdriver, and a socket set -- are you going to drive a nail, put in a screw, or put together a nut and bolt?

    Take desktop applications:
    You want clean, clear easy to maintain syntax -- use Pascal.
    You want to be a lemming, use C
    You want to be sure of cross platform, use Java

    You want to develop for the web, then you've got a whole slew of options
    You want to deploy on any server, use PHP
    You want to be a lemming tied to one platform with rubbish markup, use ASP
    You want to write client side, that's Javascript.

    In terms of web development you often have to learn MULTIPLE languages before you can do anything useful -- PHP on the server, HTML/CSS so you have some **** clue what your PHP is supposed to be outputting (a lot of PHP devs fall far, FAR short on that one), javascript on the client-side for fancier behaviors (optional), etc, etc...

    Really though, that is the question -- what do you want?

    C# definitely, its very easy to use, MS has done a fantastic job with .NET and C#, for many reasons which may or may not be compared to other languages.

    For gaming we have a very easy graphics library (XNA) to learn, we also have third party wrappers SlimDX, SharpDX and OpenTK, in fact in the gaming community C# gets more praise than any other managed language for a variety of reasons.
    For web development we have the powerful Asp.Net MVC which is similar to ROR, it makes use of jQuery and from a personal point of view it is almost scary how easy it is to develop and test in Asp.Net MVC
    For UI, WPF/Xaml which can be applied to Metro apps in windows 8 and Silverlight (although silverlight will probably die)

    Language wise we have many features but the ones that stand out are Linq, Entity Framework and now simple Asynchronous programming, in the near future C# will have most (if not all) the scripting benefits of Python (code name Roslyn). The language and .NET framework has many other features too and is very easy to learn and work with.

    I'm a great fan of C# too. I studied it for my undergrad. degree but now that I'm going to do my post-grad. I have to make the tough decision of whether to take the course down the C# or C++ direction. I think I'll end up taking the C++ route for fear of Microsoft dropping C# in the future.

    depends on what you want to do. if you want to code for the web you should learn php html javascript/ajax. if you want to code for all platforms you should learn java or when you want to code for windows only you could start with c# or c++
