Which computer language would be a good one to start with?

I'm thinking I'd like to be a programmer and later a software developer or analyst. I want to specialize in cell phone apps so I thought I'd like to learn Java first. Should I learn an approach to programming more structured however and learn basic database stuff like SQL first and maybe another language like vis basic? I had some BASIC a long time ago and I have some basic IT knowledge but no programming as yet. Thanks.
