What language do you want to learn? (BASIC, C, C++, PERL, Python, Java...)
What's your budget? (BASIC, C++, and Python are cheap or free, things like Flash cost money.)
Do you want a pspecialized compiling suite or are you willing to type everything in a text editor and use a minimal compiler?
If you want to try out Python or C++, download the Knoppix live CD and install it on an old junker PC you don't need (or give a damn about the data). It comes with a couple different programming systems.
You don't really have to compile anything if you learn Java.

Theirs a cool thing called dark basic pro. It lets you make really advanced games in about 1000 lines of code because things that would take lots of lines of code in C++ or VB (such as loading a 3d model) only use one command in Dark Basic. Basically it gives you single line commands for all the features in DirectX.
I'll post a screenie of a game i'm working on when I can find it.
The URL for the company is: http://www.thegamecreators.com
Plus they have a forum with many developers their to help newbies.
The company also makes those game creation kits where you click and drag a game together. A good one of those with graphics and physics and everything comparable to todays games is FPS Creator. (which has it's own URL at http://www.fpscreator.com)
And as an Assembly, Visual Basic and Newbie C++ programmer, I would like to welcome you to the coding world!

I'd imagine right now you wish you were a cuttlefish...
