If you’re interested in web programming, pick up PHP. Along the way, learn HTML and Javascript, if you don’t already know them. Or at least, know how they work and know how to google for references when you need to find out how to do something.
PHP and Javascript have a good “classic” C/C++ style syntax, which can help you learn C++ or Java if you want to go that route. And another important point: it’s free.
I think that PHP is a good language because it is widespread and you can do some neat things with it. Knowing how write code that runs on a webserver is useful for making apps that ARE actually useful. You will also probably find it necessary for learning how databases work as you create more complex PHP applications. Thus, you will be experiencing many critical areas of computer science.
