Learning Apex / No programming experience = Suggestion?
So I'm a DBA w/ a ton of SQL experience but no actual code experience. (A little VB maybe.)
I'm planning to take a couple classes to prepare myself for Dev 531. I've been told by some that JAVA is the way to go, while others have said C Sharp. Can anyone out here give me a good recommendation about a introductory programming language to focus on, so I can pick up Apex that much faster?

Apex is built on java so I'd imagine it will be closer to that.
That said, there's way more to java so you'll be trying to learn a lot in order to carry over a small amount, so you might be better off starting with Apex.
The force.com workbook is a good starting point - this takes you through the declarative and programming aspects of the platform in short bursts and includes apex and visualforce. The Apex Developer's Guide is a good reference and does have some elements of tutorial in it. Developerforce also has a number of articles with introductions, tutorials and code recipes.
