I started to learn programming by myself and started with C. The reason to start with C was that C is a mother of C++ and Java, so if you know C you will pick up any of the above mentioned easy. I bought a book and it is really good, plain language, good explanation, hands on exercises, etc. The name of the book is "C all in one desk reference for dummies" author Dan Gookin. Have a look at this book in your local shop, should be there. I do not know if there are free compilers for Windows, I use Linux and all of the programming stuff is included in the distro.
