Yes you can teach yourself. I say learn java if that what you want to use. Learning another then come to this make double the work in learning the syntax.

I taught myself. I started with commodore64 basic 2.0, then move to qbasic, then went c, c++ , D, and python. Just started learning java, rust.

http://www.learnjavaonline.org/en/Hello%2C_World%21
This is teaching the basic of programming.
Experience programmer won't need this.

Programming is just pushing number and characters with commands.

Simply programming has
Variables ,
Loops,
Logic,
Objects (Containers)

Then you choose use Terminal (built in) or GUI (Graphic User Interface)
Each program languages has there own entry point.

To learn programming you need to ask question and show work.
You also need to type it out. Not copy and paste.

Have Fun.

Now trying to figure out. How to set metadata. Using texture from UndergroundBioimesConstruct.
package wolff.lanterns;

import java.util.Random;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import net.minecraft.block.material.Material;
import net.minecraft.world.World;

class BlockLantern extends Block {

public BlockLantern() {
super(Material.redstoneLight);
this.setStepSound(Block.soundTypeStone);
this.setHardness(5);
this.setResistance(15);
this.setLightLevel(0.9375F);
this.setHarvestLevel("pickaxe", 0);
this.setLightOpacity(0);
}

@Override
public boolean renderAsNormalBlock() {
return false;
}

@Override
public boolean isBlockNormalCube() {
return false;
}

@Override
public boolean isOpaqueCube() {
return false;
}

@Override
public int getRenderType() {
return ClientProxy.renderLanternID;
}

@Override
public void randomDisplayTick(World world, int x, int y, int z, Random par5) {
double xx = x + 0.5f;
double yy = y + 0.50f;
double zz = z + 0.5f;

// world.spawnParticle("smoke", xx, yy, zz, 0.0d, 0.0d, 0.0d);
world.spawnParticle("flame", xx, yy, zz, 0.0d, 0.0d, 0.0d);
}
}


package wolff.lanterns;

import net.minecraft.block.Block;
import cpw.mods.fml.common.registry.GameRegistry;
import net.minecraft.creativetab.CreativeTabs;

class RedGraniteCobble extends BlockLantern {

public RedGraniteCobble() {
super();
this.setBlockTextureName("UndergroundBiomes:redGraniteCobble");
this.setBlockName("RedGraniteCobbleLantern");
this.setCreativeTab(CreativeTabs.tabBlock);
}
}

Figure out how to renderInventoryBlock. Read so much code. That my eyes hurt.
