Actually, Python is a pretty good place to start, depending on what you want to do. For me, digging into Python was worthwhile because Scribus uses it for scripting. Check out "A Byte of Python" (do a web search) for a great introduction to the language.
If you're doing a lot of web and AJAX work, Javascript would be good to start learning. I don't have a good beginners' guide to that one. You may also want to check out Ruby and Rails. "Why's (Poignant) Guide to Ruby" is an ...interesting... and entertaining introduction to that language: http://poignantguide.net/ruby/
If you use Emacs, then check out the "Introduction to Emacs Lisp" that comes with the application. It's under the "More manuals" item in the "Help" menu.
