The programming language is not really that important, they all have similar concepts, so when you master one then you will easier learn other programming languages.

C/C++ gives most freedom and works everywhere, you can also find most libraries and examples for that.

Languages like Java, Pascal, VB and C# are easier to learn and you have nice environments which make it easier to code with that (Eclipse, Delphi, Visual Studio). You will be limited in some ways though, but it can still be interesting if you start with programming.

An interesting way would be to do website scripting, using php or ruby. Many programs and games now switch to use web interfaces instead of requiring the user to download a program.

Learning GraalScript will also help you a lot for learning object orientated programming and understanding the concepts of events handling.
