Ask HN: Advice for those in high school?

Hi HN,

My brother referred me to this site. I'm in highschool right now (Junior), and am interested in learning programming. I'm trying to figure out this space right now. I've learned some Java on my own, but want to upgrade my skill set so I can (eventually) be a part of a startup. I'm wondering what languages are valuable to learn, and what the best resources for that are.

Overall, I'm just looking for some guidance to propel me into the same space as some of you guys. I was inspired by that Ferross story recently, and in general want to dedicate myself to learning all the skills necessary to be in a similar position in a few years. Advice from some of the veterans on here would be appreciated..
