It's good if you can enjoy reading a what you are learning from. You can learn
more and faster if it's some thing you want to do and keep coming back for
more.  I remember my introduction to C was so much fun because of its very odd
sense of humour while showing the syntax :-)


And Ruby is a much easier language to start off with.
