I'd suggest learning C first. Steer clear of BASIC, it's an evil, evil thing.
C would be the best to learn since you can use it on just about every platform you can think of, PC, Macintosh, Dreamcast, etc. Learn how to do some text stuff in C. Then you might want to move on to using SDL or something similar.

C is far more easy than C++. However C++ is more appropiate for repetitive tasks and large coding (besides, beign more organized when you have more than 5000 lines!)

Begin (as always) with a good O'Reilly book.
I recommend "Essential C++ Programming"
