I totally forgot about perl :/
Code:
If (you are going for general coding skills, and want to learn multiple languages){
start with (studying all on your own by trial and error?basic:perl)
follow up with (perl and more advanced perl || c/assembler /*don't underestimage what knowledge of the basics of coding will do for your understanding and skills*/ || C# && java)
} else if(you simply want to make windows programs){
go for (C# or VB) straight away
} else {
learn (C)
}
