If someone wanted to learn code or programming, what language would be best to start with?
Like what would be the most common people start with and build up and learn other code languages from there? And supposing that person has learned the language what other languages would help that person even more in his/her endeavor to learn about programming (not just games, like programming everything)?

According to me and many others BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is the best language to start with as its easy with simple easy to understand syntax and if u master BASIC very well then it will be easy for u to learn Visual Basic by Microsoft as its influenced by BASIC. According to some schools as they teach SCHEME programming language which I find little difficult to pickup for many students. So its better to take BASIC as a beginner and then advance to C Programming Language and to learn C language there is no other book better than "The C Programming Language" by Dennis M. Ritchie, and Brian Kernighan.

You can learn any of the programming languages listed here. I recommend python, because it's very easy to understand the syntax. However it really don't matter which language you start with. Yes code academy and youtube are awesome sites.

After that you could learn Java.
But if you knew what kind of programs you want to write, that could make the decision easier.

HTML is a very basic language.I would suggest you master it as it makes learning C# and More Advanced languages easier.
