I think just about any experienced programmer will tell you not to bother with QBASIC at this point. There are many other better choices for a first language, and I'm sure other people will offer their insights here as well.
I would suggest starting w/ a scripting language like JavaScript, or jump right into Java. There are many good (and free) tutorials online.
