Whatever language you choose, consider trying a few problems from http://projecteuler.net http://projecteuler.net. The problems are small enough that you can feel the reward of getting the right answer. I used Python.
As an experienced programmer with math background using a language I knew, a problem took me 15-60 minutes. Not knowing a language or how to program, it might take several hours, but not weeks.
