Get a book on basic programming. Beginner books will probably deal with the Basic language. Once you've got the idea, you can move up to other languages, depending on what type of programming you want to do. Take a course at school and if you can afford it, sign up for more advanced courses at college.

Check out Linux/FOSS! It's a living textbook! It's a college professor in your den! It's a ticket to immediate fame and peer recognition! It's learning by doing! It's free!
You will have incredible quality programming examples that work and compile. Most are in C, many are in other languages, including several scripting languages. You will also have all the tools you need for learning and development (compilers and editors, etc.).
Did I mention that all of the above is FREE?
I learned to program in FORTRAN (43 years ago). When personal computers were invented, I tried BASIC. But my real love in programming language was Pascal. Pascal is elegant, and IMHO, still a great learning environment. When you are running your own Linux/FOSS system, Pascal can be used directly or converted to C, examined and compiled. So can FORTRAN. That way, one language teaches you another!
BTW, the world is beautiful without Windows and Gates!

Well, you can get stared with a book about algorithms, that is the basis for lernning to programming. In most of that books suggests about what programming language is ideal for lerning. I've been working with C Language about 5 years, and I thing It's pretty good for beginners and experts.

it really depends on what type of programs you want to create. For instance do you want to do games, or web apps? The kind of programms you want to do determines the language you need to learn.
