I like C++ for starting, because you have to program in a clean way.
At the start it might get frustrating but it is worth!
Also to step from C++ to other languages is quiet easy.
Also I think you find it easier if you try to forget about what you learned in Web design! It would be better and easier.


I disagree. For a web designer that is moving into software development it is a pointless move to learn C++. It is better to move across to languages where there is a good overlap with web design. That way existing skills can be transferred and new skills are built on an existing foundation. To dig out that foundation and start from a big hole in the ground is a waste of time.

Chances are that the shift to software development is to facilitate a career change also. That being the case the OP would want something that is immediately marketable. C++ was the language of choice 10 years ago. Not so much today. And a lot of companies want people with web design AND software development skills to help bridge the gap between designers and developers. It is much better in that scenario to learn a language that helps bridge the gap.
