Actually I think starting with programming is easier than ever. When I started programming there was no Google, no stackoverflow.com, there weren't even decent IDE's. Modern languages like C# or Python are powerful and easy to learn. For JavaScript you just need a text editor and a browser. But then, I think that JavaScript is not that suitable for a beginner because It has some nasty gotcha's and it fails easily without an error. But it is true, the learning never stops, there are always new tools to discover.
