which progrraming language to learn first

[Dougie]

I would recommend C or C++ for a couple of reasons. There are several good 
free compilers available for C on both windows and linux. Alot of linux 
stuff is written in C so there should be plenty of source code to look at 
and play with. 

Visit http://www.cprogramming.com/
No certificates but alot of good info and tutorials on the C language.
