Agreed.
But, shouldn't we be asking the poster "why"? If the "why" is because he wants to be good at programming, then I would suggest that he first does some light c, a tiny bit of assembly, and a get a basic understanding of FP languages and the insanity of advanced OO in java.
In the end though, be sure you are using Python. Heck, even if you get bored along the way, throw some python in.
A [Warning] though: python will spoil you. Good luck going back to a more verbose, rigid language, should you be forced to.
