I want to start by making widgets because they look easy!

That statement just contradicts everything previus mentioned in this thread.
First of all widgets are just the icing on the cake, if you don't understand the basics on how to make your widget/program/whatever do what you wan't it to, when you click the button or fill in the input field, theres not much use in it anyway.
I'm still gonna mention the
Ncurses howto here altho it might not apply in your pointy-clicky world, eventho there are libraries out there that makes things like this easier, theres a whole world behind it which you need to understand, that beeing knowing the coding syntax aswell as the combination and math hidden inside it all.
Think of programming, as a way of spliting every problem up into fragments that can be solved in a series of simple yes/no questions.
First and foremost I would suggest that you learned a programming language like
C/
C++ since a variaty of other languages uses the same structure/syntax, perhaps with a hint of
Tcl/Tk knowledge in order to understand the windows concept. Or if you're used to mathmatical equations, then
Moscow ML might be a good introduction into the programming world.
Othervise theres always
Perl which among many are seen as an easier language to learn than your ordinary C/C++
