Probably better to just jump in and learn a popular programming language that has the libraries you need. Most of what you want to do has been done before. Simply read the documentation and follow a tutorial. Avoid new technologies and the latest fads. Because what you want to do has been covered extensively, you'll mostly be calling functions in libraries to do it for you.
