Honestly, HTML may not be a bad idea for a total beginner. It's not a programming language, but it allows you to introduce a number of ideas that are the building blocks of programming- the distinction between 'code' and rendered output, nesting, quotations and escapes...

Javascript, definitely not. HTML...for sure. Thanks!
