From a self-taught programer coming from a law background: you should try python as a first language. The community is huge, you can do tons of fun automation with small code (automatically send emails, manipulate files, keep track of your favorite websites...), all of which hopefully get you hooked. Then you can transition to web/frontend with html/css/javascript if it interests you. Or you can go deeper on backend / databases / networking with C#, Java, C++ and so on.
