As a beginner it's a bad idea starting with languages such as c++, Java C# etc....from experience picking one of the following as a first language will give you edge over someone who picked c++, Java etc......python, Ruby, and processing.

Personal I would suggest Ruby as a first language because it's just a beautiful language, easy to understand, fun to code with and few weeks into it you can easily pick up the Rails Framework for serious Web Development
