You should stick with one language and get good at it, and then branch out to others. Once you understand advanced concepts, you'd be surprised how similar some languages are. The concepts can usually be used to understand other languages and concepts. It's good to know multiple but you should definitely focus on one for a bit. :p

What are you going to be using to code? Are you going with a standard text editor or like, NotePad++? I enjoy Notepad++ for Windows because of it's syntax highlighting and simplicity. Or are you using an IDE like Eclipse or NetBeans?

Overall I usually use nano with syntax highlighting though. lol
