I think I want to learn a programming language just for the sake of it.
What language do you suggest?
Why?
What will I be able to do with it?

If I go for Java, can you recommend a book to get me started.
Is Java not just used for websites?

It will be added as a first class OSA component, but that doesn't make it a replacement for AppleScript.It will be replacing AppleScript in Yosemite.

JavaScript for Automation Release NotesOh really? I missed that entirely.

I was kind of surprised myself, since Apple dumped Ruby and Python as first class scripting languages
AppleScript gets its ass kicked compared to just about everything else, but I don't see it going away anytime soon.
Python is probably the easiest language to learn that people actually use (as opposed to say, LOGO which may be easier to learn, but nobody uses outside of the context of classrooms teaching the basic ideas of programming).
But I'd say you're going about this all wrong. You shouldn't learn a programming language for the sake of learning one. You should have an end goal, something you want to make.
The only programming that I have done is a bit of Visual Basic about 10 years ago where I did a few program's for decoding car stereos. I have been doing some Maple at uni this year as part of my Maths degree too.

The problem with Logo is the lack of good, rich, varied collections of libraries (outside those for turtle drawing, of course), and dated, crude Logo editing/runtime environments that don't employ more recent research in HCI and end-user programming, or even look especially enticing.
maybe they just enjoy creating endless complexity and OCD micromanaging make-work for themselves...

I think I will have a look at Python.
What do I need to get started?
I have seen a couple of eBooks for beginners, what else do I need?
