Hmm. If you just want to actually ´developer´ some apps yourself.
Any linux more or less (but it´s not required). Big mainstream stuff will give you tidy software managers that make managing the linux environment
that bit easier more automated.
It sounds glib but writing a HELLO WORLD program in a few languages is probably the place to start (we don´t all already have a DipAwesome in IT-Ninjary.) if you are using a touch then as suggested above look at the right language for that.
Eclipse provide free software development environments (IDE´s) for most things. you could look there.
Expect to read a lot of docs. I mean a crap load. Buy some books on the subject if you get semi-serious and digest a few in the meantime.
My shelf in front of me contains: MS server guide complete works,
Effective C#, professional c# projects,
The Audio Programming Book, Several imposing CCNA manuals,
Beginning Javascript, a
bunch of O´Reilly stuff, blah de blah etc etc.
My point is that whilst I have indeed been employed as a professional developer (though my focus was on musicianship for the last twenty years) much of that bookshelf is about stuff I touched maybe once or twice and the meat and veg stuff like knowing javascript in this day-and-age is a ´given´.
You just have to be prepared to stuff your head with a multitude of things.
If that sounds like it´s for you then I thoroughly recommend it. Highly rewarding when things go right.
: ) Access Granted.
