i´d say this strongly depends on what language you want to proram and which software you wanna write. a very good basis (though not really programming) is html and css. these languages are the basis for many software related projects. and for the "real" programming thing it´s very important to learn the principles of object oriented programming. (the language is rather unimportant for this). and to get an understanding what this object oriented thing is all about i recommend you diving into the model view controller (mvc) architecture, which is a way of organizing code using classes,... if you start learning those things you got something to do for a while :) have fun
