When you say "programming", I assume you mean editing and creating new levels (and not creating a new source port). You could become an editing god and be worshipped by millions simply by visiting:

Begin small, with a manageable project to wet your feet. If you aspire to create the next new Mega-game you will quickly get frustrated and quit. Familiarize yourself with an editor and practice the basics. Open up other peoples' levels and see how they got things to work. Ask questions on these forums.

Good luck.

but if you are learning how to rilly program in doom (like change wepons, and other crap) you can use dehacked or c++(if you know how to use it, coze thats some hard to learn language)
