I started with Turbo Pascal, but thats outdated. And Visual Basics - dont know, not that interesting.

Java or C++?! What are you trying to do, push him out of programming before he even begins? If you have to pick a language to start your first programming tasks on, there are really three that I'd recommend:

Python has a very strong community of learners and tutorial makers, and a good basic library to help you get started. The syntax is controversial, but few would argue against its readability: something that's critical for people just starting out.

Lua's library isn't as strong as Python's, but it has a similarly strong learning community, and its following in the gaming industry is much stronger (Python has a few major games under its belt, but Lua has many more).

Nothing, but nothing, will teach you more about computing theory than Scheme will. It's also a good springboard into AI. However, it looks and feels very different from most other programming languages -even Python- and so not everything will transfer over straight across: you have to rethink a few things. However, even if you start with other languages, learning Scheme will still make you a better programmer even if you never use it directly, just because of the directions it stretches your brain towards.
