what programing language should i learn?



<< C++ or java
once u learn one language like that its easy to pick up others >>



isnt c++ an extension to c?
 
PHP is a good language to start with. After you've learned the basics of programming, you'll have no problems with languages like Java, C/C++ etc.

C++ is the successor of C. It adds some functions and OOP.
 
I assume you're a few years shy of college? If so, I would recommend Java to be the best beginner's language, followed suit by C/C++ (they share quite a bit in syntax, or the variances are very slight). Also, Java is going to be the new AP Computer Science language if that's any consolation. And object oriented programming is a nice concept to know.

And you can do a lot of fun things with C/C++, e.g. direct memory access. 😀
 


<< also i know a very little bit of HTML.. (started on it lastnight) is java similar? >>

HTML is a mark-up language, i.e. it is used to describe the elements of a website. It is NOT a programming language.

Anyway, I recommend that you take a look at this site: PHP.net.

One advantage of PHP is that it's Open Source, which means that there's an awful lot of (free) documentation available.
 


<< I started with Visual Basic, It teaches basic programiming skillz with minimal thinking on your part! >>

If there's anything to avoid when it's about learning to program, it's VB. You'll first have to get down and dirty with a scripting language like PHP or a language like C/C++ or Java.
 


<< dood, the market sucks. Go to medical school. >>



The market sucks for unqualified people. I don't know a single person that graduated from my school that knew what they were doing that doesn't have a job. If you cheated your way or didn't learn CPSC stuff in school then you will not make it past the interview process.

<< PHP... One of the cheapest, and most virsital languages out there. 🙂 >>

Only one error in your post:

'cheapest' must be 'free' 😉
 
C, C++, Perl and Python... [EDIT]adding PHP to the list[/EDIT}

Why not Java?

Well, how many out there are studying Java today?

How many jobs are there for those who know Java?

That's why.
