I've been programming for a long time and when I started I programmed in HTML and Assembly and Basic. I think HTML is a great beginners language. Assembly and Basic are good, HTML is way easier.
The last time I looked, HTML was a markup language, not a programming language. How do you write something like the following loop in HTML?

Java, C++, or Lisp are fine first languages for a Computer Science major. But, an electrical engineer needs to understand what happens on the microprocessor pins electrically. For that, a detailed understanding of the processor architecture and assembly language are needed. When writing such things as device drivers, C is adequate, but the electrical engineer still needs guidance on what programming constructs to stay away from to avoid unnecessary inefficiencies.
Ok I said assembly because that's how I started and it was important for me to be very close to the hardware and how it functioned. I later moved into C and then many other languages. What I think is also very important is learning a good programming methodology for example top down design - Top-down and bottom-up design
