Are you well-versed in C++? That's the language nearly all DS homebrew coders use.

The GBAdev forums would be a good resource here. You'll need the DevKitARM toolchain, which is part of DevKitPro, and you'll want to try compiling the sample projects to make sure everything goes smoothly.

GBAtek is another good resource that documents the specifics of the DS hardware.

DSLua is an easy one, if you want to start out. Your only choices are C/C++ and DSLua, really. Stackless Python for the DS is also of avail, but you have no access to the DS Hardware with it.

There's also that port of the Java Runtime Environment to the DS, though it supports only basic DS functions.
