Not sure why you're learning to code, but getting into a positive feedback loop of (have idea, create, tune) is a great thing if you're doing it for more than 'just a job'. I'd get proficient with linear flow programming, then functions, and build some things before worrying about object oriented programming. Folks I've worked with have had good luck with perl but there's certainly a strong argument for javascript between web dev and node.js... Or if you want to go old school fire up BASIC and play with some programs from http://www.atariarchives.org/basicgames/ http://www.atariarchives.org/basicgames/ Not suggesting you should stay at that level (BASIC, perl, etc) but building the feedback loop of liking the process/having fun can be great to get at the beginning of the learning process.
