In addition to language, it might be helpful to explore the type of coding you want to do. e.g. Web, Mobile, Cloud, etc. One of the things you can do is peruse some free resources to see what's available and how you like it. A free resource I like is FreeCodeCamp: https://www.freecodecamp.org https://www.freecodecamp.org They have curriculum on Web development with JavaScript and React, which is a popular framework. They also have data science material with Python and related tools. I'm in the Microsoft space, which has a lot of opportunity and they have free courses on everything you would want to do. You can even open a free Azure account to practice cloud development. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/ https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/learn/ They also have material geared toward certification. Another resource that I find interesting is Google Cloud: https://developers.google.com/learn https://developers.google.com/learn They have various certification programs and I hear they've hired people who have taken and passed their courses.
