Best programming language to learn

Are you confused that which programming language to learn as a beginner? Well, many people will recommend visual basic, basic, java and many other languages. Because a very few will recommend C. Most common excuse people have is that C is hard to learn, does not support object oriented programming (OOP) and it's no point learning C when there a much advanced and improved versions like C++.
But if you study it's history then you will find the importance of learning C. It is the base of all the most popular programming languages like C++, C# and Java. What is C++? It is just an extended version of the great C language with more new features added. According to my experience of 10 years of programming, if you have mastered C, then all other languages are just a matter of time. You will not have to make any extra effort to learn these languages.
If we look at the C language scopewise then I have heard many people arguing that now no company asks you if you know C but they ask, "Do you know C++, C# or Java? But believe me, in the real practice if you go to an interviewer and tell him that you are a master of C then there are 99% chances that he will hire you because he knows that if I know C then C++ or C# are not big things. Most of the most modern operating systems are written in C because operating system needs to be fast and C is praised for fast execution speed.
There are thousand of advantages of learning C. I give it the award "Best Programming Language". So, if I have convinced you to learn C then read on.
When I was learning C, I was very confused that which book should I pick up and after long research I finally came to the book "Let us C" by Yashwant kanetkar.

 This is a wonderful book for all levels of learners. It starts with the very basics of the C language and gradually gives you more heavy weight so you don't feel lost. It makes C as simple as BASIC language. Mr. Kantekar (the author of "Let us C") is a professional and has received several prestigious awards.

I can give you the download link for the book but sadly it's fifth edition so I suggest you to buy the latest edition. You can buy this book from any good book seller or leading computer book shop.
