For what it is worth: I would start by learning C. Basically, C++, java, php, perl, python all share enough similarities that they are rather easy to pick up (Yes I know php, perl and python have less in common which is why I put them later in the list).
Don't worry about if a language has strong or weak types. The following tools I have found useful for 90% of what I have done professionally (sort of in the order that I have found them useful): C, SQL, vi, cvs, php, ksh, cron, perl and for certain problems/situations lisp, ml, prolog. If you do start with C, I would consider the following books as a good starting point: The C Programming Language, Kerrigan and Richie Expert C Programming, Peter van der linden (?) The best C++ programming book that I have read is The Design and Evolution of C++. Unfortunately, I didn't find The C++ Programming Language to be useful at all. Just my 2 cents worth.
