Just starting out with programming--pretty oblivious as to what to do
<p>The most confusing thing seems to be deciding what language to learn. One of my friends sent me a ruby tutorial and told me to get started with it. there's a class at my school on Java that I can't take, but I could use the textbook. Another told me to start with python and sent me this - <a href="http://diveintopython3.org/" rel="nofollow">http://diveintopython3.org/</a>. So I'm pretty confused as what might be the best direction to go in. I don't have any clear goals as to what I want to do with programming. </p>

<p>Any advice would be awesome! </p>
