My recommendation and take would be to get the basics under your belt, what I mean is the beginner's programming languages of choice - I would choose C, C++, Java, Python as these four are the ones most used at the current time. Here are some FREE resources you may be interested in as they are a small part of what I am reading.
You want the "basics" before you jump forward, for example, if you are a teacher and want to change careers or something. If you are into IT certifications, the following would also be a stepping stone to the bigger leagues. I highly recommend reviewing what's available on Khan Academy/Udemy (when there are FREE courses being offered for Intro to Programming, etc) See below:
