I agree with DROO: learn Lua. It's a nice language, and it'll give you a good foundation to learn JavaScript later if you go that way, as it's sorta like a simplified version of it. Or at least a version without the terrible stuff.

Bonus (maybe): World of Warcraft addons are written in Lua.

And if you learn JavaScript, beware, there are many many sites that advocate terrible practices. Stick to the good parts and you'll be mostly fine, though. Also JavaScript does not belong inside any HTML tag except <script>.

Eww, World of Warcraft...

Any good resources for starting out with Lua? The Love2D wiki links to here and here, do those look promising, bearing in mind I'm starting with essentially no knowledge of basic programming languages?

This is what I have pertaining to programming. I also have hacking roomba stuff, Arduino stuff, Home Automation, and Raspberry Pi.  If any of those interest you I can take a shot of those too.

Any chance you could wing me the C++ for dummies 5th edition?

I've got the MagPi ezine (all free editions) which is pretty cool for Pi related projects.
