Lately, I've noticed a lot of different programming and "hacking" type books available at my local library. Now a lot of the hacking ones really do not tell you anything, but the programming ones do. They have Javascript, MySQL, Perl, Python, C++, Unix, Linux, and maybe some more. I was just wondering what should I start with out of that list? Thanks!

Choose one language first master it then the rest come easy. C++ is a good one very powerful but harder to learn.

indeed, C++ is one of them languages you can do almost anything in...but learning it can be a pain.
