Answer 1

1st pick up a beginner language and know all the basics. You can start with python or c. Python is very easy for basics. Don't just hop here and there, and know all the basics.
Then pick up some small projects or problems as practice is very important and this will keep you motivated

1. Choosing your first Language

You can choose any language.
if you can't decided here the guide :

HTML is used to make web structure.

CSS is used to give style or animate web

JAVASCRIPT is used to make dynamic web (you can even make game)

PHP is server side scripting language

SQL is database manajemen in server side

C++ is multiplatform OOP based programming language (you can make many app including Games)

C# is more spesific (windows os) than C++

Java is used to build app that can run on any devices (including Android).
JAVA is not JAVASCRIPT

Python is multiplatform OOP based programming languages with easy syntax (compared to other OOP Language)

Python3 and Django for building strong and very rich website ( flask is used for small website,but Django for everything)

kivy ( a Python Program for anroid )is used for making android apps.

Kotlin is Google's new Program for android.
