Im at my computer ready to learn. I've narrowed it down to Javascript and Python.
You can still recomend other programming languages if you think it makes more sense. I know HTML a little bit but it's not really a programming language.

Also feel free to point me towards any websites/links/youtube vids that could help me learn. This would be very appreciated.
 
It depends what do you want to do it. You can do lots of things already with Javascript and Python. I suggest you to try Java or PHP.
 
1. Python (with django)
2. Javascript
3. PHP (with Laravel)
 
There are great resources on both. Python, in my opinion, is easier to pick up and the design concepts seem to stick a LOT better. Python also has a leg up with machine learning capabilities as the area exploded recently and the libraries make it incredibly easy for someone comfortable with the language. Python is typically slower than JS, however, improvements are being made and there are usually workarounds for specific circumstances. For the web, JavaScript is widely adopted, and should probably be on the list for you to learn eventually. Python is used, but not as much. For data science type situations, python wins hands down.

Personally, I'm partial to Python but both are great choices to start with. If you're planning to scrape web pages, do some form of data manipulation like statistics on an admin panel, or build bots/apps that deal with keywords, etc, I would go with Python first. If you're looking more for beautiful pages with content and user interactivity, I would start looking more towards JS. Either way, once you learn a single programming language well, it's not difficult at all to pick up the other.
