Which Language First?

When I got admission in computer science, a teacher and (now my senior)  advised me to start learning C.
and believe me or not he was so right, and it was beneficial for me in two ways,
1st it was part of my semester course, and 2nd C is really a good language to start with.
So I'm considering you absolute beginner to get started with C, all you need to do is to get yourself a compiler or you can say IDE. I'd advice you to install TURBO C.
you can checkout videos on youtube, I'd have loved to attach videos aswell but thanks to our Govt. i'd need to change my ip to open +YouTube , well you can search yourself, once you get into programming with C. you'd love every bit of it. Though its a really old compiler, but you'd love the things that you can create by yourself.
I'd advise you to learn C language, but not graphics, well if you really want to you can, but advice you to not to do that, because its really easy and they got better functions to deal with graphics !
Then why am I referring you C?
I want you to go with C because it drags you into every down and dirty detail of each program. so you cant take your hands off your keyboard.
It will enhance your programming skills and will build you as a Developer/Programmer rather than a coder..
