Kit? IDE? What are we talking about, exactly?

The general convention is that Python is a good starting point, as it is a powerful language that is both rather easy to use, and teaches some good coding practices, however in my opinion, it is too high a level to start with. I recommend learning the basics with C and then moving on to a higher level language.

A good book for C: https://www.amazon.com/Programming-C-4th-Developers-Library/dp/0321776410
You can find online courses just about anywhere, but I recommend starting with edx.org , with tutorialspoint ( https://www.tutorialspoint.com/cprogramming/ ) as your guide on most C topics.

Damn,  I had my hands ona C for dummies book and left it. Also forgot it was python,  thought it was Java that was easy.  Once you learn python what can you accomplish?

 

Is it C that we use here or is html actually html?

Python is very universal. Most Visual Novels are programmed with it (RenPy, the Py stands for Python), Civilization IV is programmed in Python, it's used in servers, and so on.

One thing to note with Python however is that there are basically 2 versions. There's Python 2.x and Python 3.x, 2.x is the older version but still mostly used, while 3.x is more modern, clearer and faster, but doesn't have nearly as much plug-ins and whatsnot working with it compared to 2.x
