What do you want to do specifically?
Make hardware mods?
Program new games?
Make mods for existing games (eg WADs, maps)?
etc

It depends on what you want to do and what you think you are capable of. It also depends on how soon you want to produce material or what is going to be more beneficial to you in the long run.

I'd reccomend starting with Lua. Thats what I've been screwing around with the last few weeks. Its probably the easiest way to start coding. Try making a Hello World clone as a first test.

Something like doom wads are pretty easy to do:

Lua is a really quick way to get into the mindset of programming but has limited use outside the PSP until you learn C/C++.

Once you get into programming learning C/C++ is the next step:

IDEs and compilers to use:

Then onto the PSP
