Best first programming language

[Gilbert T. Gutierrez, Jr.]

I agree with Kieth.

It has been at least 10 years since I wrote any code.  I learned using 
Pascal and C and then moved to C++ and Java.  I think C, Pascal, or Ada will 
all teach the programming skills needed before moving forward to OO 
languages.  C to me seems the most relavent.
