Just wondering which language is better to start learning first. I know a little C++ but a friend told me I'd be better off learning Java. Any thoughts on this? Just by my nature, I will end up learning both (I am sort of a have-to-learn-everything kind of guy), but which do I start with?

"Necessity and ambition are drivers to mastery of skills."
Ask yourself, "what language will best let me make programs I need on my present platform?" Choose to go with that language. (Only you know your needs.)
