HTML is not a programming language. C is very powerful but not a good first language (where I learned it you had to already know another language, so you knew -programming-, you just need to apply what you'd learned to C).
I think BASIC or Pascal are wonderful. They were both originally designed to teach programming but then became more serious languages.
Microsoft Visual BASIC is a little more complicated because it's a Windows language so you have to learn Windows stuff while you learn the language, but it still might not be that hard to learn. Pascal has a great advantage in being 'self documenting', you can read a Pascal program like a novel, you can see exactly what it does.
There is also a free language you can download called Python that is very good.
You can find tutorials for any of these languages on line but you'd be better off getting a book and working through it methodically. If you have questions or problems there are lots of places online to get help (like HERE, for instance).
With your first language you are learning -programming- as much as you're learning the language. ANY of these languages will teach you the principles of programming, and once you understand them you can take that knowledge and experience with you to the next language you learn. Although they all have differences, they all work pretty much the same way for the basic stuff--loops, branches, subroutines, math, etc.

I would recommend C#, Java. Not the easiest, not the most difficult. VB.NET is easier to pick up, but it's still somewhat "messy".
Avoid learning Visual Basic 6, and VBA/VBScript at all costs. It's a mess... VB.NET is significantly different.
Microsoft has the free Visual Studio Express 2005. There are numerous tutorials on the web, even video tutorials.

Java might be a good place to start. Sun provides a free development environment and there are tons of free tutorials found on the net.

Start with Basic
Microsoft offers the Visual Basic Express(meaning free) edition that you could learn with and theres many web resources for programming....
Cant really provide exact links to stuff cause theres so much out there....just start with VBFourms.com
I say VB cause it was one of the first and logisticly the easiest to learn....
And even though it might liook like it HTML is not a programming language per se but does implement things like VB script and javascript to actually do things...

Vbasic is a "traditional" starter.
PHP is very easy to learn.
For both or either (and html, javascript, css, and others), I prefer the books at OReilly, but some find them rather pricey... http://www.oreilly.com
