As much as I want to say "Learn Python its easy", I won't. I recommend diving into a language like C or C++. I recommend CS50 at EDX. Its an online free course. You don't have to do the problems and shit if you don't want, but watch the videos. Its about 24 videos that are 50 minutes long. I recommend watching 2 a day and you can do them at 1.5x and 2x speed.

Python. It's easy to learn but can be challenging to some extent. Now because I am nearly a complete noob with Python, it is pretty challenging if you don't know what you're doing. That applies to me.

It all depends on what you're wanting to learn OP. Are you wanting to write programs or web systems? I'd highly suggest learning PHP as it gives you a nice introduction to other syntaxes. However if you dont know HTML/CSS already this isn't recommended. Don't dive into a hard language, start of with something easier. A scripting language may be good for this. Python, Perl or Lua may be good for you.
