RE: HiveSQL: Author Rewards & Curation Rewards

I have a question for you. I have a comp sci degree and some years of experience, but I graduated back in 2000. It is surprising how many of my skills are still relevant! Anyhow, I recently got fascinated by the blockchain and would like to reboot my programming skills.

My rusty skills are in C/Java/C++/Perl and I was a UNIX system administrator for years. I was familiar, but never an expert with SQL.

So, my question is, if I am interested in getting into blockchain programming, where do you think I should start? What language would you start with if you were me? Are there instructional sites you might recommend? I usually teach myself, but I am open to ideas.

I thought I would begin by learning Python, but maybe there is a better starting point?

Thank you for any answer you have time to provide. I totally understand if you are too busy to reply.
