Subversion is actually a good place to start since it does fairly advanced version control with a minimal learning curve. You can hire subversion hosting to make the server setup and maintenance easier and then use any number of GUI Subversion clients (or the Subversion command built into BBEdit) to interact with the server. If I were just starting out with version control at this point I would definitely go with git. The learning curve is significantly steeper but the payoff can be inestimable as the one significant feature "lacking" in Subversion is implemented in overdrive in git. In all fairness, though, there are only 2 times in the past 7 years that I can recall wishing I had been using git, but who knows how much better my code would be had I fully understood git and been able to take advantage of it. I should also point out that just because you use git doesn't mean you need to use the advanced (complex) features. It works pretty well as a basic VCS too ;-) My 2ยข.
