You may notice that I didn't list Java or PHP. Why not? Because they're primarily used to write software that runs Web servers. Java (which despite the name has nothing to do with JavaScript) is sometimes used to write desktop applications or cellphone games, but it's relatively complex and I don't recommend it as a first langauge. PHP is a little simpler, but it isn't used much outside Web servers and for most beginning programmers, you're better off with another language.
