You may want to consider Java as a means to teach OO programming, and<br>
allow for cross-platform use. Check out: <a href="http://bluej.org/" target="_blank">http://bluej.org/</a> for a<br>
teaching IDE.<br>
<br>
I completely understand the value of FOSS, but the fact is that world<br>
largely runs Microsoft. That said, I recommend looking at C# using<br>
Mono (<a href="http://www.mono-project.com/" target="_blank">http://www.mono-project.com/</a>).<br>
<br>
Lastly, CSS and Javascript is what I started with in college.<br>
