But I have to disagree with HTML. HTML is not programming. Seriously, making a simple webpage in HTML is like typing a document in Word, except typing <b>text</b> instead of hitting the bold button on the toolbar. If that's programming, then typing up a paper for high school English class is too.
HTML _can_ lead into Javascript, PHP, and other facets of web programming. But it's not programming in itself, and if the goal is to introduce him to programming, making him learn HTML before he can start learning programming seems like the wrong way to go about it.
