Take a look at AutoIT3 (http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/). Yes, it's a form of Basic, not transferable anywhere else, closed source, but it allows the person learning to program a means to create useful program within just a few minutes. There is great community support with code snippets and DLLs available to do many things. It includes SQLite (a lite SQL) that can be used to teach database concepts also. It's a great way to get started quickly and easy to learn.
