Yeah... learning a programming language is a journey :p That would be impossible to teach it on a wiki wall.

I can try and give some advice though.


 * first, your need to choose one programming language to begin with and should stick with it until you're comfortable with it. Depending on what you want to do, some languages are most suitable :
 * website & scripting languages : PHP, ruby, python, perl, javascript. Those are in general the fastest languages (in term of development time, not performance) for writing scripts (an automation of tasks). They are also used when for website.
 * games development oriented : C, C++, C#, objective C are the most famous for developing softwares and games
 * mobile : if you want to create mobile apps, you'll pick Swift / ObjectiveC (for iOS) or Java (for android)
 * Java : the language kinda apart from all, it can be used to do almost everything, websites, games (not really big games though I think), mobile (android). It's taught and used a lot but I've always disliked it, it's too verbose (you need to write to much stuff, other languages need less code for doing the same stuff in general)
 * they are tons of others but I think those are the most known/used
 * once you've pick one, learn the basics of the language
 * how to stock values in variables
 * how to manipulate numbers and strings
 * loops, if/then/else blocks (like on wikis...)
 * and after that, it's one step after another one. Take a project you want to code, a bot for instance.
 * So what do you need to do ? Well first, you need to get the text of the wiki page. So ask google " how to get text of a wiki page" and find some tutorials or forums with responses (most of the time on stackoverflow.com, the biggest and most known forum for developers :D ). Follow the instructions of those posts and boom you've solved your problem.
 * Next step, retrieve files from deathmax'repo, so what do you do ? ... ask google : " how to get file with url" ... find forum post ... follow instructions ... and boom solved
 * and repeat until project done :D
