Choose either python or javascript. Python is nice to work with, javascript is easy to observe in the browser. Both languages are useful and rich.
Whatever you choose, find some tutorials online and start. At least for python, I usually recommend "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python" or "Learn Python the Hard Way", however, you can find many more.
The two other things you will need are a code editor and some understanding of the command line. VS code is a good editor, though notepad++ might be okay as well, because it has less features and would be easy to begin with. The command line is a different than the usual way to rund programs, but it is not all that difficult for the basic stuff you will need on the start.
Good luck and never be ashamed to ask questions.

- ThisIsMeEEE 6y agoThank you and appreciate it, I was about to ask that and thanks for explaining. But what about the code editor, can you recommend one?
- gostsamo 6y agoNotepad++. It has initial python support and is not so intimidating as VS Code. However, you can install both and see which of the two looks better to you.
- ThisIsMeEEE 6y agoThanks for the great response. I am going to start with Notepad++ and decided to focus with Python.
- IamZeroBalance 6y agoYou might wanna try Atom as this supports many languages and it's free to use.
- runjake 6y agoYeah, just use Notepad++ or even Notepad. It’s basic, mostly unopinionated and gets you going on your goal of learning to program. Don’t mess with editors like Atom or VS Code right now. They will only serve to sidetrack you.
