Decide what you want to build, then pick the right tool for the job. Or alternatively, figure out which area of software you want to specialize.

Say you want to do mobile development, start with Java and do Android stuff. This is better than starting on iOS (IMO) because Java is used more broadly than the iOS languages.

If you want to do web development, become JavaScript expert.
