Python's a good language to start with since it's a scripting languages and makes it a bit easier to work with. I'd learn a bit of Python, then move on to an object-oriented programming language like C# or Java, then you could eventually work your way down to C/C++.

Personally I hate Python because of the syntactic whitespace. Not that I don't understand syntactic whitespace, I just dislike the idea of using it. However it is a good and solid language to start out it. And if you ever want to move to web app development, you can use it with the Django framework. The same goes for Ruby which is personally my favourite language right now and is really easy to pick up and use. It's not really anything amazing for desktop apps though. However all languages are a good starting point really and each have their own learning curve.

You should start with html then move to php and then go to more advanced languages.

I'm using php Its pretty easy with notepad++! have fun

Yea start with python, its a bit easy since its a language with whitespace, then as said move to java, then to C then if you really want to get good, get really good with the windows API. If you want to get down to a really low level language there is asm. ASM is a bit hard since the you have to learn a lot about memory and how its stored and hexadecimal.

Little late here, but I hope you'll appreciate my input. I personally learn C++ through my school but now I'm going back and expanding my resources. As I'm working my way through a bunch of tutorials, I am seeing the same concepts being illustrated in Perl as I did in my C++ class. That being said, Perl cuts out some of the monotonous and somethings annoying syntax necessary to do the same thing in C++. If you were to learn the concepts in Perl and then go on to apply them in a more powerful language like C++, I could see this working out very well for you.

I think he meant actual programming, not web script.

PHP is programming.
