Programming, Which Language and How?

Hi all,

I am sure this has been asked many times before but meh I couldnt find much on search,

What is the best way of learning a new programming language? Books? Courses at a local college?

Mainly I want to learn PHP and MySQL (plus some CSS etc), and something so I could make a few programs that I have ideas for, what would be best to go for?

Heard about C# or C++, any good?

Thanks

I have my own dedicated server, so that is no problems trying other things

I suppose somewhere like the bay might have books (cant check as I am at work) ?

I will reply in depth later on

Cool, I will go to the local book shop on my lunch and have a look for some programming books on python

Mainly I will be building websites, so PHP/MySQL might be the way forward, on the flipside I really want to look into programming desktop apps etc, and will look into Python and perhaps C# first, I dont really like Java as it doesnt like my PC (Client side) dont know if server side is different?

Things that I can use on my dedicated server on the server side would be good too, but thats a whole other thread
