[PJUG Javamail] So Many Languages, So Little Time

[Richard Johnson]

Hi all,
 
I have a friend who is a project manager.  He gets joys and heartaches
associated with seeing that computer games get built on schedule,
according to spec, and within budget.  He is not a software guy in the
same sense that we are but more of a people and process person.  He has
told me a couple of times recently that he wants to learn to do some
limited programming and/or scripting.  He's slowly teaching himself
AppleScript now.
 
What language should I recommend he learn, why would you recommend it,
and do you have a good source or pointer for tutorials since he'll
probably need to do it mostly on his own?  Perl, Ruby, Grails, Java, C,
Lisp, Scheme ... something else?
