JustBasic is really a good introduction to programming in general, rather than really a language. If you want to understand syntax, then that's the place to go. Otherwise, (if you want a language), I'd definitely recommend python, because it has good structure as well as "pythonic" one-liners for more algorithmic stuff. The only major difference is the curly braces versus tabs, but that's a change that can be learned in just a few minutes.
