It depends, is your goal to land a job? If so that is totally possible. Look in your area (somewhere like indeed.com) and see what is in demand. In most areas Java or JavaScript are both good options as both are in demand and fairly easy to pick up. Based on what language you learn you will need to lean a accompanying framework and other skills needed such as build tools, sql, general design patterns, etc.

The biggest piece of advice I can give is too just fully dive into learning. Program every day and read every day. It is going to be uncomfortable because a lot of concepts dont come easy to learn and it can be very intimidating.

Another huge help would be to find a mentor, when I started programming I had someone to give the a path to follow, read these books, learn this , learn that etc.. Which gave me a huge boost among my piers. Also, you will not get some concepts right away, and thats expected. Someone who has run into those problems can shine a light and explain it to you.

Programming and computer science are diffrent. Learn to program first then a little later pick up a computer science book. And that can be a pretty controversial thing to say especially here. The truth is that most junior level positions just want someone who is reasonably competent and will continue to learn.
