First off. HTML is not a programming language, it is a markup language, which means its just simple tags that describe the text inside them.

As far as actual programming languages, I personally recommend PHP. It is fairly intuitive in the function calls, and (fairly) well documented on the web at http://www.php.net/

Going for a full bodied programming language(PHP is technically a scripting language, but it uses most of the ideas in real programming languages) I recommend going for either C or C++. They can do really complex things (most OSes are built in C and assembly), but the basic stuff is easy to learn. They have also been around for ages now so there are a lot of training books, etc.

Except once again - HTML is NOT a programming language. HTML does not execute, it doesn't have conditionals or any programming construct. HTML is just a markup langauge. HTML IS the data that programs operate on. Saying HTML is a programmng language is like saying a .doc file is a program.

Learn JavaScript first. You have everything you need to start now - a web browser and an editor. That's all you need. And you can learn all the basics of programming.

HTML isn't really a program language but a must for any web development obviously.

As far as web development goes, PHP is probably one of the easiest, if not the easiest. The nice thing about PHP is it has a huge support community so if you get stumped with anything, do a google search and you'll be sure to find a solution.

I've heard Ruby on Rails is pretty easy.

I'd say Python, since HTML isn't a programming language but rather a markup language. Python is an object-oriented language like Java or C++, but its syntax is more forgiving than either of those languages. It lets you spend less time studying your code for minute mistakes and more time actually writing code -- great for learning OOP concepts and applications.

Dude, dificult question.
Learn something that you will not use is useless, then, we cannot put it in easy language to learn.
Learn something depends about how your rational mind works. Perhaps you can learn faster OO languags or structured language. Low level (C) or High level (VB).
Learn language is more practice than anything. You can learn rules, but you will not understand and develop better techniques before some experience. - always non-documented experinces (Thanks God that we have Internet now).

I would put in ranking:

PL-SQL
PHP + MYSQL (you must use database to store your ideas)
ABAP
PYTHON
VB
DELPHI
JAVA
C++
C
Assembler

Almost there (program language):
HTML
DHTML
JS
LS (Lotus Script)

Close:
MS ACCESS
Cold Fusion
Lotus Notes / Domino

I dont think you can go too wrong with HTML, because theres a natural progression. HTML then you decide you want to move things around so then you can do DHTML and javascript.
After that you might want to start doing server side stuff (PHP, ActiveServerPages ASP.net etc)
Once you are server side you can then maybe do some TransactSQL, VisualBasic, C#, you can then some ObjectOrientated programming.
Then its on to C++ and assembly if you really want.

It depends what sort of programming you want to do. But if you want to learn a good OO language then I suggest Smalltalk. several freeware versions are available.
I strongly suggest however, that you first learn a little about software design and the history of programming, else you may find yourself floundering.

For web designs...
Learn HTML, then move to ASP.NET, and to something harder.

For Desktop Applications:
Python is pretty easy.

But if you want to do OOP (Object-Oriented Programming), then I would recommend Visual Basic for starters.

For Databases:
VBA for Microsoft Access
SQL

HTML for sure. If you are talking about something more advanced, I would advise you to avoid C, c++, and java. They are good languages, but complex. I would try something like php. I personally learned perl first, but it isn't as popular.
