If programming as a hobby, then start with something visual with a quick feedback. You don't want to get stuck in months long projects. When I was kid, I bought a book on video games programming and just typed in code from it. I still remember when I was able to move a box on screen.
Another option might be Arduino. After years of writing CRUD, my love for programming reignited when I was able to make LED blink.
