>Fromthe viewpoint of an "old" hobbyist:
In ancient of days I learned Fortran with punch cards! 
Moved up to Basic with teletype machine 
Took C at Haavard 8 years ago.
Tried C++ 2yrs ago. Started class 4 wks late and never "got it".

Starting from scratch today:
I would do scheme from "Little Schemer" to learn fundamentals of programming
and style. 
Dive quickly into Python with "Learning Python" and "The Quick Python Book"
Python is enough for me to do most anything I'd ever want to.  
If attempting to become a professional, I'd then take on C++ then Java.
