Hello everyone i'm new here but ive been thinking about programming for a while now maybe it'll be my career choice, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what programming languages should i learn first, and then after that, and then after that...... etc.
Any response would really be appriciated, especially if its directing me in the right way. Thank you for your time.

if you want to learn the basics of programming and how a computer works, i'd recommend c++
java is cleaner and a bit easier, but c++ is more hands on.
get a beginner book on it.
linux/unix is the best environment to learn. if you are confined to windows and still want to learn a valuable language, c#.net would be a good language to learn.

I agree with icepack. C++ is a great starting language. Start with Ansi C++ so that you can learn the theory of programming and get the syntax down. Once you learn any programming language the rest are easier to learn.

I recommend getting a book as well as using online tutorials. Sometimes you can learn an entire language very well from online tutorials but they are missing a lot of information that a book contains.
Good C++ Books:
Amazon.com: Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days (5th Edition) (Sams Teach Yourself): Books: Jesse Liberty,Bradley L. Jones
Amazon.com: C++ Primer (4th Edition): Books: Stanley B. Lippman,Josée Lajoie,Barbara E. Moo
Visual C++:
Amazon.com: Microsoft Visual C++ .NET Step by Step--Version 2003 (Step By Step (Microsoft)): Books: Julian Templeman,Andy Olsen

I will suggest that you read something about object orientation BEFORE leraning a language. The language only "translate" how you design your program to solve your problem. Then c++ is a good choice to do this...;o)
If you think about selling your talent you may also consider java that may be more "trendy" and/or widely used.
