Java is in demand and works with many different platforms. Cool part about it is that if you know Java (or C++, etc.), it is a lot easier to pick up the other languages as the concepts are the same. Different syntax, though.

Good luck!

I did C this term, enjoyed it was pretty simple, i suggest attempting this first, as C++, C# & Java languages are built on it! Python is good, but is bit funny, to learn on! C is a procedural language, Python contains aspects from both Procedural and Objected Programming, hence i recommend C, you'll wanna install Textpad as your text editor and mingw as your compiler, as c is a compiled language! I suggest you buy C How To Program by Deitel 5th Edition, 2005, thats what i used last semester!
