If anyone could suggest what is a good Programing lanuage to try to learn, ive been away from looking into stuff like that for about 4 years, and stuff in the computer world changes fast. Look for up to date suggestions. Thank-you

Paragraf below is what was the begining of my post, but i figured people don't wana read through my motivational life dribble to get to the question so i stuck it below if u want to read it




I've been hooked on Everquest for a long long time. Anyway im trying to quit, and find some activitiys to fill in the sudden vacuum (i got oodles of time now that i never knew i had) in my life. In the past i was kinda interesting in learning to program, but i never could get into it cuase (proabaly having to do with my ADD (attention defecit disorder) and OCD (obsesitive compulsive disorder). I had a hard time hunkering down and learning what i felt was something in the middle instead of starting at the begining with the 0's and 1's, but there wasn't (and probably still isn't) classes for the begining. So before the stress really kicks in, and the disorders start up id like to pick some progaraming somthing to learn so i get hooked now.
 
Java is pretty good. it's a relatively easy and powerful language. knowing it makes learning languages like c/c++ easier too.

C++ is a bit more difficult, but seems to be more commonplace than Java, at least for now.

i think java is a nice language to start out with. common things like gui, networking, threading etc is built into the language's own library so it's easier to try things out, whereas in c++ such things can get very complicated and weird
 
PYTHON!

common, a language named after monty-python's flying circus has to be a good thing.

Plus the documentation and langauge is completely FREE. It's cross platform. It's better then visual basic and actually usefull for real life stuff!

see here

Anything you learn in python is applicable to every other "serious" programming langauges out there.
