Greetings!
First run (don't walk) to your nearest kde mirror and grab the latest
KDevelop. This will allow you go get into things asap. The templates for
helloworld.cpp and friends will have everything setup for you.
As for languages, what do you want to do? GUI, cgi, database? Perl and
Python make VB look like a kludge when you are trying to do DBI stuff. Java
is slow but will keep your skills very marketable in the "real world". And
C++ opens many new avenues of adventure.
In my opinion KDevelop is the most mature IDE for linux save for the
commercial verison of Code Warrior. If you are interested in C/C++ kdevelop
is a perfect fit. If you are looking for Python/Perl scripting checkout Kate
(The IDE style editor for KDE).

p.s. I am biased to KDE only because I am a KDE developer. This is only what
I know well, this is only the tip of the iceburg.
