If you're really starting from scratch, then Python is definitely 
the language to start with (then later you could check out Ada :)  
Try the Non-Programmers Tutorial For Python:

How to think like a computer scientist:

Learning to program:

http://www.crosswinds.net/~agauld/

(this guy is also on the Tutor list)

There's also the regular Python Tutorial:

http://www.python.org/doc/current/tut/tut.html

A Python Short Course:

The What, Why, Who, and Where of Python:

Programming Resources:

http://www.cyberramp.net/~fdavid/programming.html

and last but not least, John English's Brighton University Resource 
Kit for Students of computer science (BURKS - its's both a website 
and a set of inexpensive CD-ROMs).  Highly recommended:

http://burks.brighton.ac.uk/

That ought to keep you busy for a while ;-)
