At this point, I'm inclined to offer the canned "google is your friend" response.
From Active Directory up to Z (pronounced Zed!) and a whole lot of everything in between could be relevant to you. No-one here will advise you (hopefully) to learn C# or Java or .Net if you don't have the pre-requisite skills. Those being, a fundamental understanding of basic programming.
My personal point of view is that C is the best language ever devised. Before I started on that I learned (as my first "proper" language) Pascal. And BASIC before that (and Z80 assembler before that).
PHP is a nice language. Download something like Apache Friends, or something similar, and bash away. Download Linux (pick one), install it and bash away at shell scripting.
I wouldn't advise starting with Java, Perl, or the likes until you've mastered the basics.
First you have to decide what it is you want to learn.
Google is your friend.

JOSM(1) General Commands Manual JOSM(1)
NAME
josm - Java OpenStreetMap Editor
SYNOPSIS
josm
DESCRIPTION
josm is an editor for OpenStreetMap written in Java 1.5.
OpenStreetMap is a project aimed squarely at creating and providing free geographic data such as street maps to anyone who wants them. It
allows you to view, edit and use geographical data in a collaborative way from anywhere on earth. The project was started because most
maps you think of as free actually have legal or technical restrictions on their use, holding back people from using them in creative, pro-
ductive or unexpected ways.
