I would suggest C/C++ as well since it's one of the most wide spread
languages these days. IMO Visual [whatever] is on a step higher up
(language generation wise) so I would NOT recomend them.
Learning Pascal is however very good for teaching yourself algorithms and
such since most books (that I've seen) use Pascal (or ADA which is similar)
for explaining. I can see the confusion rise in the class when something is
explained in Pascal code since we haven't had a course about it.

I suggest mySQL (for Linux) since it's very easy to use CGI scripts with
this (if the server has everything you need installed - you don't need a
server for testing however just Linux and mySQL) http://www.mysql.com/ this
is not the original homepage for it but you can reach it this way.
