That reminds me. If you do decide to learn Python first it will also help you when you have to learn Java or .NET because Python can be "glued" into other languages. Take a look at Jython and Iron Python. Python can also be embedded into C. Although once you learn Python you may become "spoiled" and not really enjoy writing programs with long syntax, I recommend just reading up on both languages and seeing which one suits you best
