I have no programming experience and I have decided that it will be beneficial to my (future) career in engineering to become a proficient programmer. I was thinking about starting with C or C++. Is this a good idea, and if so, which of the two should I learn? I have heard that the main difference between the two is that C is a procedural language whilst C++ is an object-oriented language. However, I don't know what the implications of this are for a beginning programmer. My plan was to go as follows:
C or C++
Matlab/Mathematica
Java
Python (if necessary?)
Learn to use UNIX/Linux
