If you want the greatest chance of being a good programmer do not program java before c/c++. Doing so will give you a major handicap as you will want to do everything javastyle and you will probably have a very difficult time understanding pointers. People who learn java as a starting language don't seem to be as compentent on average as those who learn c/c++. Also your first language will probably be your best language so think about where you want to get a job and what languages they like. Just don't start with java!
