Start with Python because it's relatively easy and makes sense. [Learn Python the Hard Way](http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/ http://learnpythonthehardway.org/book/) is a good resource. After you've got a Python project under your belt, learn JavaScript because pretty much every programmer will need to use JS at some point. [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/ https://developer.mozilla.org/) is a good reference for JS, CSS, and HTML. W3Schools is a terrible resource and should be avoided. Finally, learn a LISP (like Clojure/ClojureScript) because it will expand the way you think about programming and learn at least one lower-level language (like Rust or C / C++). You should also learn Bash or Zsh as you go. I wouldn't recommend shell-scripting languages for large projects, but they are immensely useful for tasks like file manipulation, and you will need to know how to work with a terminal for system administration tasks.
