Start with the basics (like HTML5 and CSS) then work your way up. I did HTML5, CSS, then Java.

Basically the first step in programming is concept building. Start with any language of your choice and focus on the strategy and concept hidden behind the language. Once your concepts are developed the only thing you need to learn is the syntaxes which are language specific.

Start with Scratch.  It teaches the concepts of programming without worrying so much about syntax.
