What programming language should I learn?
Python. You can find useful examples of python code throughout CentOS, beginning the yum itself. Get yourself a copy of 'Dive into Python' (can be had as a free download, legalling) and, well, dive into python!
I completely agree! Python is really worth looking at. And a lot of the tools on RHEL/CentOS are written in Python.
I see quite some people suggest Perl. I've been in that camp as well, but I personally find Python much more intuitive than Perl, and also a lot more consistent. Perl is truly like paint, you can splash the colours around just like you want. The learning curve for Perl is quite higher than Python in my experience.
But you learn so much from *FIXING* Perl.......
