If you are looking at actual programming laguages (apart from HTML or CSS for web site design), I would recommend starting with Visual Basic. It is probably the easiest to understand for someone getting into the field as the syntax follows a logical word structure (If, then, else, etc).
Download Visual Studio and install it then the first thing i would do is look for code samples for things like "reading files", "saving files", etc. - it will give you some idea of how things work that is relatable.
Hope that helps and good luck on the journey. It can get frustrating, but is rewarding as well and always try to find code you can "re-use" first. No need in reinventing the wheel and it will help you progress much faster as you can see how something behaves and modify it to suit your needs.
Please don't learn Visual Basic first, it's an incredibly limiting language and the "simplicity" of it is also present in Ruby, JavaScript, and Python. I would highly recommend learning JavaScript first since it's going to be the fastest way to get a visual feedback loop on what you're doing.
Why Visual Basic?, I had to work with it years ago and I hate it, is heavily tied to MS, there is almost no documentation or outside help. If you HAVE to work in a MS ecosystem, go for it, but I don't see why would anyone with freedom of choice pick VB.

Definetely, JS or Python, JS if any interest in web and specially front end and Python for almost everything else: web backend, ML, data science, etc.
