Hey, I want to get into programming/coding, but I'm not sure what 'order' to learn languages in, I wanted to learn JavaScript, but it isn't making much sense to me, and I'm guessing that's because I haven't learnt any of the easier languages first. I know HTML is pretty easy, so I'll probably start with that, but what next?

You don't really need to learn HTML, or CSS to understand the basics of Javascript. If you're having problems with the basics, then maybe pick up a book on introduction to programming. You don't need HTML and CSS until you get into DOM scripting, but it's likely you'll use JQuery before getting into full blown DOM manipulating. So, in a sense, you don't need to know HTML before experimenting with it. With that said, before being able to use the Javascript in the browser, you should have a good understanding of HTML and CSS.

1. HTML/CSS
2. Javascript/JQuery

You are clearly not a programmer.
VB .net is pretty redundant as programming language.
C# and Java are almost identical in syntax although I find Java a little less '.NET-y' in the sense that they don't capitalize the start of every imported method. Java is also cross platform. (I know C# can be cross platform too but Java runs out of the box no third party help)
Javascript is easier than C# and Java.

The order you suggested is ludicrous. Learn how to program before trying to give advice.

I Would recommend learning VB.Net to start out... Simple and easy

i said vb.net because i think its a good language to get started off with. And then u can use what u leant from vb to help with learning c# or java. How does that show that i dont know how to program?

Edit: btw i've never used javascript and i thought it would be similar to java so thats why i suggested java first. Also i wasnt sure if it was the best way which was why is said could try

Judging by your lack of proper grammar, anyone can deduce that you are not a programmer.

Well no, but anyone will tell you that it's good to have good grammar when being a programmer as if you make a tool for CoD Ghosts for example and name it:

"CoD Goats: advansed moddeng" it won't really take off.
