Start with Python.
I see this recommendation a lot. I did Python years ago in college and I remember liking it, but why suggest this over any other language (just curious)?
To be honest I prefer C/C++ over any language.But just learning for the sake of learning is of little value, Python has better job prospects now compared to C/C++(they will always be important but for different kind of fields).Python is easy to learn,code and has very good support.
I started programming by going to http://www.w3schools.com/ and learning javascript/html. Javascript is a fun language, its easy to learn, its useful for most things you want to do (built webpages or even simple local clients) and if you have a computer you have a built-in IDE (notepad) and compiler (web browser).
Once done with javascript pick another language and keep learning.
I do remember it being easy.
As far as job prospects though, pick up Visual Studio Express and learn some C#
Or better yet, if you can stand it, develop in the ASP.net environment using C#. I think that's where the money is, if that's your sort of thing OP. I did VBA for years just because I like it, but my payscale suffered comparatively (still comparable to six figure salary jobs though). Now that I've done all sorts of stuff in VBA I'm moving on to C#. I felt very compelled to move straight to VB for the obvious reasons, but C# is worth more in the workplace, even though you can do just about everything in both languages.
If anyone knows why that is, I'm all ears. The internet just gives a bunch of back and forth on the topic, and it all just sounds like speculation. I personally don't think there is a good reason for it.
I liked VB but not enough like C/C++.That said I have to use it from time to time.I never liked .net languages enough to change boats honestly.I looked at VB.NET and said wth? VB morphed into something completely different.Now regarding paychecks , if you really know C/C++ you will be a tough nut to beat .
In the Detroit metro... if you know your C in and out, you can land an automotive position no problems. And be nailing way into six figures.
But again, salary isn't my sort of thing. Once I started making $50k I didn't have to scrounge for anything. And now that I'm well past that I have no real motivation. I don't spend enough to spend even what I have now.
However when I take new jobs, naturally I negotiate what I can, though

Also, this site rocks. I use w3schools whenever possible.
I'll just leave this here... http://www.w3fools.com/

I have found that I can command a higher rate with C++ (embedded work) than with C#

I work for a large hosting company and I would say
1) do a quick primer on HTML if you don't know it. Don't try and master it, just learn enough to wrap your head around it. Basically, get a fundamental understanding of it, even if you don't practice it or memorize anything. You're going to see a lot of it in other instances of programming
2) Javascript. Used very often, and very powerful. You'll find plenty of tutorials online and vids on youtube.
3) PHP or python. I'd probably go with PHP first just because it seems to be used more.
