I have tried visual basic, java and python but I am still new to programming but it is something I am interested in doing. It is quite daunting starting out and not knowing where to start so I was hoping that I might be able to get some advice? I seemed to be able to understand most of the tutorials I have followed but I am still a little unsure.

I recommend you choose one and learn the fundamentals well in it. The best tip to learn is to start building things.

programing language is “same" if you have programming thoughts.

Best language is Python. Syntax is easy, it reads similar to regular english, and there aren't many things to memorize.

Visual Basic and Java are a bad idea. The VB is extremely outdated and, at this point, kind of useless. Java has multiple reasons to ditch but the biggest 3 are:
1. JVM is not open sourced .
2. It drains your RAM like a russian drains a bottle of vodka .
3. It uses OOP(would recommend).

Python is and amazing option, but you won't go anywhere if you use only python. So my advice is: do some projects with python, learn C or C++, do some projects with C or CPP and then if you want you can too learn GoLang(I don't really see the point, but to each their own) and then you can start doing on whatever you want.

Python is the easiest to start, but I think c++ is better to learn your fundamentals.

Language is not important in programming. Once you know your fundamentals you can easily pick up another one. The hard part about programming is the ability to think of algorithms and solving problems.

Maybe try html?

For web programming --> for first time > HTML + CSS | then PHP+MySQL
For software programming --> VB.NET for first time | then C++

I think Python is a good for starting. Try to find project that will be interesting for you and build it

I'd say for a beginner Python is better since with C++ there's a high chance they get discouraged quickly.. for Python you see awesome results much quicker.
