I would get a decent table saw and the first thing I would make on it would be a crosscut sled. Those 2 things will handle 90% of the cuts you need to make.
This. A lot of folks get started with a miter saw but I've been without one for the past 6 months. I've built half a dozen closets worth of shelving and cabinetry with a cross cut sled on my table saw. I now prefer it over the miter saw for almost everything.
So if I were starting new to learn, I would go with:
table saw and build a crosscut sled
circular saw
drill/driver set
Random orbital sander
Once you learn how to use those well, next would be a router.
Another thing you'll want early is a good collection of clamps. But don't go out and buy a bunch of different types. Buy them as you need them. Start with the 4 pk of small Irwin quick clamps.
