I don't know anything, and I am not too well schooled in number theory, but do know some as well as have some friends high up in mathematics that could help me out.

I know a small bit of basic crypto terminology and some concepts etc, but would like to know more

I want to learn everything, but I have no clue where to start, what to look for; perhaps what would be referred to as unknown unknowns.

I also imagine I would need to some more about servers, databases, etc.

Basically, can someone point me too some good starting points, resources, what I should be looking to learn etc.

Much appreciated HN.

I've been wanting to learn to code for some time now, and most people told me to pick something I wanted to make and build it from the ground-up (Or top-down should I say).

My project is based off extracting certain data from Google Maps API, storing it in a database somewhere, analyzing it for different situations and putting it back out. (At least this is what I plan to do, I have no clue how possible/intensive this is but I guess I will find out).

I'm sure everyone hates these "what language should I learn" questions, but I figure since there may be certain things that work really well with my situation and certain that could work terribly, it could be a valid question.

Thanks in advance.

tl;dr What language to use with Google APIs.
