I would say that any language that keeps you programming is good, try some of the suggestions here and stick to what works. I would suggest something other than C/C++ though. Good luck!

I wil look
into assembly & maby binary
Thanks, Jon
Learn any language other than C or C++ before trying either of those. C is terrible for beginners and will teach you terrible habits if you ever intend to learn C++ (and do not believe anyone who tells you that you should learn C first if you intend learning C++!), and it's very difficult to find good beginner level C++ tutorials as the vast majority simply teach "C with classes".
In any case, both are poor languages to learn as a newbie. I've heard good things about Python although I've never used it myself. It's quite possible to learn to program with Java, and Java will teach you excellent habits if you later intend to learn C++, since Java is pretty much C++ with the archaic C stuff and a much of the new (and, for you, unnecessary) complexity stripped out.
Oh, and avoid Perl like the plague ;)

I don't think that it would be a problem to learn
to learn C++ as the the first programming language,
I did it myself :).
However, I would recommend you to buy a good book,
because as said before, there are only a few good
tutorials avaliable (for free) on the internet.

I recommend trying pascal or delphi, the syntax is very easy for a beginner to pick up, thats the way my program taught, pascal/delphi->c->c++
