I would say learn Scratch programming first.
Hear me out. It runs in the browser so there is no setup.
You can see all of the blocks so there is less cognitive overhead trying to remember syntax.
There is a huge community, they had 30 million active users last year.
There are tons of books, courses, videos, and a forum to ask questions.
