Visual Basic is an easy language to pick up.

Select button from the toolbox.
Drag the button out on the GUI to place button.
Double Click button to view code.
Type: msgbox "Hello world!"
Hit the compile button.

And there you have a nice program that says "Hello world!"
It's not good for working low level, optimising code or making games though.

You can grab MS VB.NET Express Edition for free from their website.
