Coding

html/css

codecademy has a web track that teaches html and css from beginner to independent learning. It's super friendly for the new user. You'll have to set up an account. A very cool and useful site.
w3 Schools has been around for a long time and breaks html down into nice little learnable chunks. It goes from the basics all the way through to the latest audio/video coding for html5. You don't need an account. There are advertisements, so keep an eye out you don't click on one by mistake.

python

codecademy again. They really break this down in a great way as you become more competent. Python is a great programming language to learn for your first.
We have a book in the library called Python For Kids: A Playful Guide To Programming. It teaches Python by making games. It's good, but the downside is you can't have it for too long. Try dipping into it when you're in the library. Ask Craig if you can't find it.

javascript

Rocking good Khan Academy tutorials! It doesn't say so, which is odd, but this is javascript. Organized to make it easy on you, with videos, comments people actually respond to ... great place to start,
codecademy again
and w3 schools again ... they really are very good. Watch out for the ads.

objective-C & iOS

Code School is one of the very few good tutorials out there learning Objective-C. They made it look like an old computer game with five levels to go through, so it's super fun to use, but detailed and not overwhelming. This is a tricky language to begin with. If you want more a grounding in iOS before you start it, they do that too here but you have to pay for it, alas.
If you want to skip forward to iOS app development and not have to learn Objective-C, try apparchitect. It's a drag and drop interface. Very cool and you'll have your own app in no time. You need to sign up for an account.

java

Not many of these around but this is good: Learn Java Online. It has a nice open code windows so you can see what you're coding straight away and it assumes you know nothing.
