i've recently being looking at programming, i did some object oriented programming a few years ago in VB3, VB4 & VB5 (damn M$) i'm now looking @ java (as it isn't the programs developed are not OS Dependant can anyone suggest a java IDE, i tried Eclipse 3.2 & Netbeans 5.5.1, but i found the SDKs are very difficult to learn, are there any easy to learn java packages or can anyone suggest anther language / package that i easier to learn ?
 
C# is a language you may be interested in, it's a mix between java and c++ and is cross-platform. Although the most prominent implementation is the Visual C# one from Microsoft, as a language its an open standard. The [google]mono project[/google] provides a free .NET implementation. The [google]monodevelop[/google] IDE allows you to program in C# in Linux, with the majority of the functionality of the .NET class framework. It also allows you to program in VB.NET, as all .NET languages are compiled into an intermediate language called MSIL.
 
I've done programming in C for my first year at Uni, we got our resources from here. It's written by my tutor and goes through the very basics to get your started, I found it really easy to follow - each lab was timetabled for 3 hours, but I usually finished early. (And I've never programmed before)
 
It's depends on your skills and attitudes. You have to decide what should I learn. Think about those,

1.) Resources,

If you can easily find study materials and people keen on that, it is better. Actually Internet is the best solution. Remember one thing, self learning can be the best....

2.) Usability in real world,

Think that you want to use it industry or just for your knowledge. If you want to interact with the industry, you have to move in different ares. For example, to work with Java should more keen on J2EE or J2ME, not much on J2SE. It's just to make clear you on Java.

3.) Dependability,

To learn C#, it is easy if you know Java. So, select such languages. You will covered more languages in short period of time.

I'm work on Java(J2EE specially), JSP and C#.Net.
