I couldn't tell you if you missed anything, as many programming languages cover the same things, but I would recommend starting with Java. That's what I did, and it's worked out really well. Also, it's useful to have a powerful, compiled, cross-platform language under your belt. Java is faster than interpreted Python (for most applications) and runs on most everything.
