Pick a language that looks interesting to you, find a book or course on it, and just start writing code! I personally recommend starting with Python.

I posted a long list of books and courses on this comment thread, in response to @justaguy . Check out some of those, especially "Automate The Boring Stuff with Python", "Python Crash Course", and/or "The Complete Python Course".

I'd also recommend signing onto Freenode IRC and joining the #python chatroom. It's a great place to get help and learn more about the language.

Welcome to programming, and good luck!
