start with C and use it until you become familiar with basic programming concepts. use C to get your indenting, documentation, and basic algorithm design/analysis skills.
then move on to Java or C++, and use whichever one to code up things you already did in C. once you have a basic grasp of syntax and such, use Java or C++ (or any other object language, but i recommend those two) to familiarize yourself with concepts in object oriented program design.
this is how it's done in a lot of universities and IMO, one of the better ways to start a programming skill track.
