By far, the easiest language to start with is Visual Basic. And, best of all, if you already have MS Office installed, you already have Visual Basic installed. It's a combination of graphics and C-like programming that will teach you the basics of programming structure. Once you've mastered creating custom Word docs or Excel spreadsheets then, if you can round up a copy of Visual Basic 6 or higher, you can start to create stand-alone applications.

Check out Borland Delphi. It is based on the Pascal language and is easy to learn. Also check out Microsoft .net. More people use .net than any other programming language out there besides c++ Win32 (which is hard to learn). To find out more about these languages, google Delphi, and .net. If you want to start programming for money your going to have to get used to reading and reasearching. A lot :-) Im a full time Delphi programmer so take it from me.

Pascal is good because it shows you the basics of structured programming, although its not a common language anymore. More commonly used such as Java and C++ can be tricky to learn if you are a beginner.

Surpised no one mentioned QBasic. Its slightly old-school, but its a nice start before delving into object-oriented programming languages like Java.

Hello, my major is Computer Science, so I can help you. I prefer for you to learn first C language and C++. Learn about ( scanf , printf , while loops, do..while loops, for loops, switch, comments, breaks) it is the basic things. I hope you like it. have fun :)

You would have to be more specific on what you would be doing. There are numerous languages out there.
