Mara,
Based on what Tripp said, I'd definitely go with Python as my scripting
language of choice. There is even a couple of free books on Python
available online.

ESRI has standardized on Python as their primary scripting language so
if you plan to mainly work in the ESRI world then Python makes good
sense. However you can also use Java and VB script. If you already have
some VB knowledge then learning VB script might be a good choice.

Subject: [gislist] Fwd: script recommendations
Hi listers,
I want to pick up a script/computer language for working in ArcMap, for
career enhancement purposes. I am a lousy coder and I know this can be
a hindrance in finding jobs. But I can pick up the basics and I'd like
to be able to at least develop and work with simple apps. What language
do you recommend? I want something that has a good chance of still
being widely used 2 years from now, so I don't waste effort on learning
something noone needs. I know VB and python are widely used. Anything
else? What would you recommend? Is there a particular book or tutorial
you would recommend for your choice of languages?
Mara K.
