I suggest starting with Python

Python is a very powerful language

it is used by MIT in their first few programming courses

and Python is used by many companies

see what they have to say about Python here - https://www.python.org/about/quotes/

so here's a FREE online book for game programming with Python and Pygame

Program Arcade Games With Python And Pygame

http://programarcadegames.com/

The book was written and is used by a professor for his Introduction to Programming class.

Since it is an introduction, it assumes no experience. So it starts off at the very beginning.

here's a video of a game one of his student's made
