I started with HTML, then C++ (of all things). I think I'd still recommend the web trifecta (HTML/CSS/Javascript), it's really easy to build something you can share with your friends. Even if it's just a static site, it's awesome to have something like that. Part of me wishes I had been around during the heyday of BASIC. I hear a lot of people got their start that way, and even if it looks a bit ugly now, I'm sure it was a fascinating introduction to the digital frontier.
