Programming Advice.

[CemeteryBloom]

Hey guys,

So I've decided to get into programming but don't really know where to start or what path to choose. At the moment is very much like to keep it as a hobby but if it becomes interesting what sort of routes would you take for a career path?

Any advice on where to begin learning this side of the technology would be greatly appreciated.

The first question is, what kind of programming? What do you want to be making and on what platform?

Python is a good first language for complete noobs, it'll run on any OS, you can develop software and website with it as well as mobile apps.

I don't have any real plan for it because I don't know where to start, I'm just looking for the best way to get into it and the proper way to learn it.

I've also read that Ruby is quite good, do you need any certain amount of specs with running Python and what's the best the place to start with it?
