Question about learning to code

[Weekapaug]

...as it pertains to gaming, working on mods and emus, specifically.

It's been 30ish years since my basic days and lately I've been dying to learn to code. The local community college will alacarte any class they offer as long as the prerequisites are covered. I was wondering of anyone could offer advice as to what I should be looking at if I was interested in things like advanced scripting for streaming applications (cast software, bots, etc), modding non mmos, and working on one's own EMUs.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
