And basic/qbasic are obsolete. Personally I'd say Visual Basic, extremely easy.

BASIC always seemed illogical to me :/

I say start with ECMAScript then go onto C++. Or just dive in the C++, it's really elegant and easy to follow imo.

I'd say go for Python.

Depending on what you want to achieve, try BBC Basic. Very very very easy.

I'd agree with saying anything Basic related would be a good start. You may wish to try something a little more challenging such as Delphi, which is visual pascal. Yes it is more or less obselete, but it teaches the principles well enough.

Visual basic if you don't care about being strapped to windows and flogged.

Python if you want interoperability.

Just my opinion. :p
