A Programming language is a sort of instructions that are given to a computer to perform a given task, there are a lot of programming languages out there and it all depends on what you want to achieve with a language, there are languages for Web App, Mobile App and also Raspberry Pi apps.

Most common languages today are Javascript, Python, PHP, Ruby On rails.

To learn a programming language you have to own a computer for practicing purpose then you also have to buy a course so that you learning can be linear but if you can't afford a course you can learn on YouTube by going to Brad Traversy's channel which is packed with many amazing videos on different languages.

-Learn the basics, when starting out its important to learn the basics very well because they're the foundation.

-Learn Functional Programming, this is very common in languages and you can learn it after knowing the basics.

-Build projects, this is the most important aspect of learning a language, you have to build as you're learning because you need to solidify your knowledge on these languages, building projects also gives you confidence and ability to solve problems with languages.

This is a very good way to make money. The demand is high. To companies/businesses need professional s to build apps for them not any kind of apps standard apps. Internet and computer are the least things you need to work and get job in this field. You need to be able to write flawless codes, use some professional softwares, you need to be unique and have connections as well. You need to be determined and have endurance spirit.
This job pays well but I don't think it's this easy. You have to be versatile and eager to learn new things as there are updates every now and then so you have to advance in your skills as there are updates in softwares ... For instance you don't just feel comfortable with only python in coding just because it's your speciality. You must be able to learn new things. You don't rely on android studio because you know how to use it best. You try advance methods and softwares too. This might not be stress free to you but you need to observe these things to excel.
