It depends on what you would like to program for. Do you want to get good with game development programming or software programming? Or are you planning on getting good at both? Or perhaps programming for robotics or somthing of that matter?

A good start. Notice it will require reading, lots of reading.

Check the library for the dummies guide to programming for a particular language, they are excellent for introductions.

I'm sorry, but the For Dummies series serve as a terrible introduction (to almost any topic, but especially computing). Based on what I've seen of this "Beginner's Guide to Programming", it doesn't look much better.

He asked for beginner, I gave a few ideas from google. Far better than telling him to open notepad and start writing.

I started with python personally and felt it was a great choice. It is very high level(high level languages mean they are similar to the english language, while low level languages are closer to machine level language of assembly and binary) and easy to use.

Yes, it is true that your suggestions were better than "open notepad and start writing", however not significantly better.

Since no one really answered the question except for maybe Epic?. What do you hope to program in the future?

High level is definitely the way to go. I started in web development, so JavaScript was a great choice for me. I'm now mainly working in C# and Objective-C, the latter being a lot lower level.
