Hello. First post in the programming section. I'm very new to programming in general, I have followed some basic online tutorial's to make's calculator's and such in a few different language's but still don't know much about much. Its time to select select a language or two that I can focus on. I don't want to become a professional programmer, only make small basic applications. I'm pretty much only interested in making small hardware monitoring programs. Nothing fancy or spiffy, Just make a bar graph that show's CPU usage and go from there. Maybe later add RAM usage to it. Eventually I would like to make the program be able to adjust PWM fan's or something. Kind of like a very cheap knock off of speed fan or hardware monitor. I understand I won't learn to do this is a short amount of time. I want to start small. Like make a graph or even just a small box that show's CPU usage as a % and slowly go from there. Kind of like how in rainmeter people make all kinds of Hardware info "widgets" and stuff.
So that's what I would like to accomplish but what programming language(s) should I learn before setting out to accomplish my end goal? I'm ok with buying book's and doing lots of reading and learning. I am also fully aware that this won't happen in any short amount of time, but if I don't start somewhere I'll never learn
Thanks for reading.
