If someone wanted to learn programming and they know nothing about it, what should they start with? which language?

1. first he needs to study an easy programming language such as C-language or visiual basic
2. after studing C practicaly very well he needs to study an OOP object oriented programming language such as C++ and it will be easy for him to learn because its origin was C.
3. finaly it is better to him to keep studing and practicing until he be profession and to be easy for him to learn more different programmn glanguages like Java, C#, objective- c, perl, python, prolog etc...

According to me

C++ is an easy to Learn language , which contain almost all advanced features, like Data Structures, OOP etc...

Hope you understand. :-)

 i think java will be a good choice but it is not easy
