Which Programming Language?

I recommend starting in Visual Basic. Its a door way to C and C# (And C is like god programming and very difficult) I would stay away from PHP and Java since its open source and even though its used in websites, its not a solid foundation for one. Also the .NET programming sucha s Visual Basic and ASP is the best so far. most solid websites like Facbook, youtube and such are ASP ect. There are Java elements incorporated but its not worth learning java and PHP then C or C#. Try VB. Its simple to start with and its very powerful especially for Windows application.
