I started around age 10 on HTML and then programming after that. I think starting with HTML is ideal as it's very simple, the web browsers are forgiving of syntax errors, and you can visually see results right away. You can then naturally transition into learning programming to generate HTML. And I think it's important for most of this to be self-guided with the help of books and such. The results will be much slower, but I think it will be more fun and educational.
