Although I no longer use it, I learned to program with ActionScript. I studied art and had no background in programming, but I found it fun to play with Flash and AS. For example, getting a webcam involved is a couple of lines of code. Now you can do basic motion detection and all kinds of cool stuff. It is a good way to learn programming as everything is included in one package. You can use the Flash GUI to make a simple interface for your application.
