I'm new to coding as well, but so far what I've gathered is that WHAT language you learn is less important than actually sitting down and getting dirty with code. When I was trying to decide what to learn I narrowed the search down by just heading to the book store and flipping through some books on various languages. Ultimately, I ended up with a choice between Ruby and Python. I couldn't tell what the major differences were, so I just decided to pick Ruby. I figured that there was no real way of recognizing the nuances of ANY language until I actually had one under my belt and could better understand what makes each one tick. I'm fully aware that this was a somewhat cavalier method of choosing the pal I'd be spending the majority of my waking hours with, but I think that starting anywhere is better than stalling because you can't decide. So far I'm satisfied with my choice. I think I would have been satisfied with Python too.
