Personally I think that Python is a great language for beginners. It is very easy to learn and will teach you the basics of programming, and it is also a very useful language to know! I especially think you should go with Python if you are going to learn programming on your own through the internet or books. It is one of the easiest languages to learn without an instructor. Also, assuming you really mean "programming" and not "web programming", don't bother learning HTML like some people have suggested. While it is fun and useful, it will not come in handy when you want to start learning other languages. Good luck!

as a beginner u must start off to learn the basic concepts of programming and apply that using C++ as ur starting language...Once u know abit about the concepts and programming, you can go ahead and learn java and then followed by VB.Net for windows based programming teaching u the concepts of object oriented programming...

I'd start with HTML, it's easy and it helps get you set in ground rules - I learned HTML at 9 if you want to know exactly how easy lol. I'd follow with learning basics of JAVA and CSS, just for a knowledgebase. Following that I'd start with C++ I learned it in 8th grade so it isn't too complicated. After that... well, honestly, it depends on what sort of programming you want to do and what you intend to do with it. I wouldn't learn all of the languages, it's too easy to get them crossed and that's just a pain.

Today, programming and web sites are almost inseparable. Even if you just want to add some dynamicity to your site, you will need to learn some of the basics about JavaScript.
I'd start with a purely object oriented language like C# or Java. This is because most programming nowadays uses this paradigm as its fundamental building blocks. .NET Framework is very easy and useful, and one can get started in it for free. Java is totally free to use, and it is very useful as well. Its programmers are not as in demand in my area, and that is why I would learn .NET, all other things being equal.

If you want to get into web programming, you need to start with HTML. In which case, try w3schools.com.
If you want to get into computer programming, you should start out with C++. It's pretty complex for someone who's had absolutely no programming experience before, but it's the major programming language. If you want to start with something easier until you get the hang of how computer programming works, you could try the much outdated language called BASIC.
