As no one replied, which is a bit sad, let me start with some things first.
There are a ton of materials out there to get you up and running.
I'd suggest that you follow a class on Udemy (Online learning platform).
A good language to start with, is Python.
It forgives a lot.
Benefit is, that you can use it for hacking purposes as well as regular business issues.
As far as I can remember, you also can start with freecodecamp.org
This site has everything and in a very good quality.
