Languages and code

Which language should I pick if I'm new to coding?

Python is a good first choice: it reads almost like English, and the hands-on tutorial teaches it step by step. If you'd rather not type at all, pick Blocks: you snap Scratch-style blocks together, and Brain code shows you the same program in Python as you go. BASIC is another easy start, with short commands like DRIVE 1 and FIRE B.
