Java or Python are probably the easiest for learning. But if they scare you that much I guess you could try VB, I've never programmed in it myself, but it seems easy/and what a lot of new people use a lot.

I suggest you read through the basics: Syntax, If/Else Statements, and For-Loops and go on from their. Once you read that stuff use the following to practice what you have learned below. It is going to be really hard and difficult to understand at first, but don't be afraid to ask questions, sometimes I find answering a simple question where someone is just clueless can help a whole lot.


Here is a cool little website in for learning Java or Python, you can do the exorcises IN BROWSER (so you don't even need to download anything to get started.) I suggest you try to go through the practice problems there (in java or python), and if you have a problem post here and I will give you some help/hints.

If you have never programmed in any language and want to get something easily with GUI so you don't get tired, VB is the answer. But VB is "dead", so don't stay a lot with it. Use it to learn how to work with bucles and progam flow management. Then, switch to something better.
Perl | Python | PHP are good to begin too, but GUI is harder with them.
To end with, C is the best I kwnow. Also, it is the hardest of them. But if you learn C, a lot of the rest will be really easy to learn.

If this is useful to you, I started with VB and then switched to C. After learning C, Perl  and PHP were easy as fuck.

I started with just basic then moved to vb 6 and then to vb.net.I'd say start with python , move on to java and then do C#(Microsoft's version of java, kinda like a knock-off) and then to c++.

If you want to get into programming as a profession I would suggest c#, it is looking to be the new industry standard in most corporate settings.

What you should start with is C, it will teach you almost everything you should know about the low level side of programming and will be easier to learn procedural syntax of other languages like PHP.

Python is a good clean language for starting but I would recommend starting with something harder and using python as a standard scripting language for tasks that need to be performed quickly.
