Good starter language?

Well, I've never programmed before (other than basic HTML) and would like to know a good starting language. Any suggestions?

Stop fucking with him, guys! Hey, OP, I'm so sorry how this forum has treated you. But one of us is very generous today.

Okay, OP, the best language to learn has to be easy to understand as well as having short and simple commands. There is one programming language which does this. Once you have mastered it, you can do almost any program on any machine with this language. It is really true. Not only that, it will never die anytime soon nor in the far future. This special language is known as the 'assembly language'! Examples of simple and easy to understand commands are: MOVE for moving the data, ADD for adding the datas, SUB for subtracting the datas,.... and et cetera. So easy, isn't it!? Ask any professional programmer. I guarantee you it is and will continue to be used on many many many machines for many years to come. This means you will be assured of being able to handle old machines as well as new machines. What are you waiting for? Go learn it right now! You'll be a master in no time!
