Some sort of basic, vb.net or c#.net.
basic is a simple language to learn with relatively simple syntax. Can be developed using graphical tools and components to make quite complex programs.
I started with pascal and delphi but went onto using quickbasic (DOS) and visual basic (windows) leading to the .net studio.
Express versions are free and I have included a link.
Using Linux, there are loads of free development languages PHP, Python, C, C++ etc.
EDIT look for an evening class or saturday morning class at local college, thats how I started, it is worth it unless you know some programmers. Play around with free code samples snippets available all over the internet. Sample below. You can copy and paste code directly into vb.net files I use notepad to save them.
