Sure buddy,
The base of every programming language is C
So if u are a total novoice then start with C
After that u can do C++, .Net, Java etc which all are more or less based upon C

First, let me say that you will get a lot of different answers based on personal preferences. I have been programming for over 15 years and my personal preferences change as technology changes. This means that I've picked up and programmed in a lot of languages.
For someone who is just starting out, the language that would be the easiest to learn would probably by Visual Basic. Visual Basic is a Microsoft product and has a long history of being the successor to QBasic (a very very old version of basic).
Visual Basic is a language that can be easily picked up by beginners. The upside to learning Visual Basic is that it is also a language used by many Fortune 500 companies for web design, application design, and scripting.
Microsoft provides a tool for writing and compiling Visual Basic called Visual Studio. Visual Studio also provides other languages like C#, C++, and J#, to just name a few. So when you do want to move on to a more advanced language like (C# or C++) you already have the tools necessary.

Well you should have a goal or idea on what you are trying to accomplish. If you just want to tinker around and compile code I would start with the web.
1. Learn HTML (not really programming)
2. Learn Javascript
Then you will be righting code in most peoples eyes. You can also do this for free because your web browser handles both.

Could you clarify which language exactly? Cause if your talkin' Qbasic, then just read the help files with it. They give example code on how to use it. Plus, just look around on the net and I am sure you could find a pdf or something on how-to. It is like the most basic fundamental programming language there is.

Get visual basic 2005 and get the book for it too. VCU holds visual basic in very high regards. recently a friend of mine got a full ride just because he knew how to program in visual basic. He said they use Visual basic at VCU. You can also get certifications for certain goals being passed. VCU gives them out without having to be enrolled their. Yes you get them through a college or you can get them through different programing associations. But like i said before colleges give certifications for certain goals without being enrolled.

Check out community colleges in your area. They are likely to offer an introductory course or two. You can probably take them for a small fee and the credits will likely transfer if you decide to take a degree.

If you are not going to take a formal class, then get one of the "Dummies guides" they are good books for learning anything.
