In my experience (and this is only MY personal opinion). Unless you have computer experience, it's best to start with the Digital Literacy Track and then move on to the Front-End Development Track.
The knowledge you gain from these, specifically HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (and jQuery), will set you up nicely for whatever you want to pursue.
Unless Python is what you have to do and really want to do... Again this in MY opinion only and I am sure there will be many who disagree (and I apologize to all Python coders)... contrary to "popular belief" Python is the WORST language to start leaning how to code with.
I am highly proficient in front-end development and quite well versed in more than a few backend languages, yet I still struggle with Python.
So, I suggest to start with those two tracks, then if back-end development is what you desire, I suggest Ruby, Objective-C, or where I'm focusing now, Java.
Good luck and Keep Coding! :)
