> Well, lots of people say that C/C++ is more useful. That's why I am learning.
All languages are useful in real world. Think of them as tools for achieving a given task. Want to do embedded programming, dig up on C. Need quick GUI's, look up Python, Java, C#, VB .NET and the likes. Interested in AI development, look up Lisp. Interested in the field of Mathematics, learn up Haskell.
Knowing a host of languages is what differentiates a programmer from a good programmer, though the language with which you start is an important decision.
Python, Perl, Java are the few languages which are known to be good language for beginners.

I don't accept change; I don't deserve to live.
I would not recommend java! Its syntax is much like c++ except that it is slow. heres a good quote:
How bout lisp? It will impress people.....

Java is a high performance language, by high performance we mean adequate, by adequate we mean slow

Not to mention it would blow away the brains of a first timer... ;-) Writing the whole code in Cambridge prefix notation is not a pretty sight. I still vote for Python or Java.

smalltalk would rank very high among good languages for beginners; it is arguably the best language for beginners.

Well, it's true that every programming languages are useful. But many people always say that C/C++ is more common and more like "multi-functioned", something like it gives access to most parts of the computer. My friend who is studying in NUS (National University of Singapore) also suggested to me to learn Java first and he also said that there'll be some problems if I'm starting with C++ but he said that if I want to learn C++ first wouldn't be imposible, what I mean is he said that I must really put effort on it if starting with C++. Do you all have any other opinion for this?

C++ is not a good option to start with. Like I said in my previous posts, Python and Java would be better choices. Plus you have got nothing to lose since both of them are mainstream, commercially hyped and used languages.

Well, if I wanna change to learn Java, what should I know first? And which tutorial's the best?
