I started programming 29 years ago in college using BASIC on a mainframe. I primarily used BASIC from 1978 through to the early 90's. During that time I also used , QBASIC, PASCAL and MUMPS (Mass general hospital Utilities Multi Programming System) for a time when I was in the Navy. I did have some intorduction to COBOL and FORTRAN but never really got into using these surprisingly as I was working as a Marine Engineer and not a programmer. I also programmed PLC's (Programmable Logic Controllers) which have a graphically means of programming called Ladder Logic.
It wasn't until 1998 that I started using C, SQL and Visual Basic 6 to manage a database for an environmental water treatment system.
Currently I mainly use VB, for windows apps and C with some assembly for embedded programming. I do occasionally dabble with web programming using PERL, ASP & JAVA.

Starting with C or C++ is indeed a bad idea. They are fairly low-level languages and have a lot of difficult nuances that make it all too easy to shoot yourself in the foot (and sometimes very difficult to debug). Starting with BASIC or Python is also a bad idea. These do not have a C-style syntax, which is the most useful in the modern programming world. I would suggest starting with either Java or Javascript. Despite sounding similar, they are actually quite different; however, both are easier for a beginner to learn (and debug) than something like C or C++, and they both have a C-style syntax. Javascript is good if you want a really shallow learning curve and/or if you already know some HTML and/or if you are interested in writing web pages or user scripts. Java is good if you want more speed and power and don't mind a somewhat steeper learning curve.
