Hello Jason, I would start by focusing on interpreted languages such as shellscript, perl, python or ruby. Some of the greatest security tools are written in these languages (ie. Metasploit) and they aren't that hard to learn. I would also advise to get familiar with a flavor of Linux and get to know Windows command line well. Once you have those down, I would start looking into some of the lower level languages such as C or C++ and to get really deep, get an understanding of how Assembly works (if you want to get to the shellcoding aspect and exploits).
As far as techniques are concerned, it all depends on what you are trying to achieve and what type of information security job you are trying to obtain: Penetration testing? Incident Handling? Security Audits? Forensics? Best idea is to invest a bit of money and get a course+certification. Those are usually pretty in-depth (see SANS courses and Offensive Security). Good luck.
