I recommend C/C++ first.
Don't try to learn c++ and java at the same time...They sometimes get confusing when ur doing em both.
I've also found that ASM is also a good starter language.

Every single mainstream language has the same premise, so it actually isn't that hard to learn multiple languages. You learn a programming language not for the language itself, but for the programming theory behind it. Learn one language, and you've essentially learned them all.
However, be warned. You usually keep the same expectations and habits that you developed from the language you first learned. That's why I would recommend you don't learn an easy language like VB or Java first. The best first language in my opinion is C, as it gets you introduced to the basic programming paradigm. From there if you wish to delve into some OOP you don't even have to learn a new language, as C++ uses the same syntax.

depends on how long you've learned the languages for. if you try to learn a few different ones after another, and only learned the previous ones for a short period of time, then of course you're going to confuse yourself. and flyte's exactly right with what he first said about multiple languages.

C Primer Plus is a book...for learning programming...
i don't know if C would be your best language to start with, but Slovach's more experienced than me.
