The last info I read indicated that the bulk (80-90%) of programming is now either .NET or Java, and it is a fairly even split between the two. What you will find is that development shops tend to be either Microsoft shops or nonMicrosoft shops.
If you are starting, go one path or the other. You will find work in either.
If .NET, go C# as your primary language. It is easier to step from C# to VB in .NET, then the other way.
Since you are just starting you can't possibly have any idea of what type of programming you want to do or will do - i.e., either web programming or desktop application, or server side stuff. Right now you just need to get started with the basics.
Note that the commercially successful dating site www.plentyoffish.com was developed as a project by somebody trying to teach himself ASP (an early version of Microsoft's dynamic web technology). So don't underestimate the power of learning. ;-)
But keep in mind that every 4-6 years, there are major changes in the technology - I am on my fourth or fifth language (depending on whether you want to count a brief dalliance with Java) in which I have done professional development.

As a self-taught drummer myself, i will inform you that there particularly isn't any 'speedy" strategy to gain knowledge of an device. It takes plenty of persistence, train, subject, and tough paintings. Now that being stated, a few men and women do gain knowledge of faster than others so all of it relies on the character. I have 2 cousins that each play guitar and each are self-taught. My one cousin Terry practiced nearly everyday and picked it up faster than my cousin Dave, who did not train virtually as so much. Terry grew to be lovely darn well in approximately eight months. It all boils right down to how located you're, how so much you train, and the way rapidly you select matters up. My recommendation might be to get a tutorial booklet or DVD and gain knowledge of a couple of chords. If you do it for your possess you'll store plenty of cash and you'll be able to move at your possess velocity. Guitar courses don't seem to be affordable this present day, except you understand any individual. Just supply it a shot for your possess for a month or two and spot the way you development. Then for those who suppose you want courses to get higher, then uncover a well trainer that may not be too costly. But the bottom line is to train....train.....train! Good Luck!

It really depends on where you want to work...
I'd say that most coporate programming in the US is going the way of C#, J# and either SQL Server or Oracle.
Web development is the way of J2EE, PHP...
Game development is probably more C++.
Once you find know what kind of environment you want to work in, then you can easily find out what languages and tools are being used.

That depends on what kind of programming you want to do.
1) Web Programming: C#, ASP .NET, Java, JSP, ColdFusion, PHP, javascript, and HTML.
2) Desktop programming: C#, C++, VB, VB .NET
3) Game programming: Delphi, Lua
4) Math related programming: FORTRAN

Depends which way you want to go. You need to understand SQL and set theory either way for most applications. Make sure you work on that.
Microsoft, you want .NET, either VB or C#
Linux, Perl, PHP, shell scripting.
Again though, 90% of what you will likely be doing is inserting and retrieving data from databases. Don't skimp on that part.

Best choice is Oracle and Java, learn J2EE (Java, JSP (Java server pages), Java beans, Servlets, and Oracle PL/SQL).
There are so many openings for J2EE.

Basically i think u should know C, C++ as they are the base of most of the languages..
C++ is very important.Once your OOP's concepts are clear you
can learn any language based on OOP's and there's no world without OOP's for programming i suppose.
And then later you can go for java,.net programming(asp.net).

HTML and Java are pretty cool.
Others like C++ are cool too. But HTML is the simplest. Thru HTML, you get to learn Java and CSS too.

you can use lots of languages there like C#, VB,J# etc
