Programming?

[Andy <misplice@xxxxxxxxx>]

Ok, I haven't programmed anything since BASIC and I
was wondering what would be the best language to learn
as a starting point for others. I've heard C/C++ is a
good place to start because some of the other
languages are offshoots of them and are then easier to
learn since you know C/C++. Also I know everyone likes
teh O'Reilly books, but are there anyothers that you
would recommend as a learning aid?

Thanks 
Andy
