It all comes down to what you want to write:



Websites (not software): HTML, Javascript, PHP, MySQL



Games, Operating systems, 99% of software writing needs: C++ (Java is inferior to C++)



Artificial Intelligence: Prolog, LISP, C++



Super easy to code programs with easy to make graphical user interfaces but don't have much power or processing abilities: Visual Basic



Database intensive programs such as business software that relies heavily on numbers: Perl or C++



Stuff for video game consoles such as PS3/Xbox360: C++



Your best bet is to pick your language then search for beginner level tutorials on torrent sites.

Answer 2

It's just not that simple my friend.



I went to college for 4 years to learn how to write software, and now I work with a company developing websites and iPhone apps, I also create iPhone apps independently.



Java is a good start but sure as hell not the only language you need to learn. Good luck!

Answer 3

Learn Pascal because all of these people will tell you not to bother with that. They're all "life in the fast lane" and they'll blow you off anyway-- that's why they insulted you and told you so.



So don't do like they do, or think that way, either. It's the only way you'll still be around after they're gone.

Answer 4

Javascript is a website client-side language. Java is a portable desktop language. They're used for totally different things.



Learn programming first http://www-old.oberon.ethz.ch/WirthPubl/AD.pdf Once you've mastered that, start thinking about languages. (You don't learn a language because it;s easy, you learn it because it will let you write the program you want to write.)
