The most important things for you to learn in the first few months are actually pretty language agnostic (e.g. what a variable is, what a function does, basic logical statements), but the big one that you should be looking for is a basic understanding of how programs work. The idea being, when you look at Facebook, iTunes or whatever, you should be able to start thinking about the high-level decisions that the program makes, even if you don't know how to actually implement that logic programmatically. Everything else will naturally progress from there, but you can't progress as a programmer, until you start thinking like one.
