On “Where to start as a 12 year old?”
I'd go for C#. It will allow your son to build games in the Unity game engine and he can use the same language to build applications for the Windows desktop, web, and mobile devices as well. Here's a fantastic introduction video. My second choice would be either JavaScript (not the same as Java) or Python (version 3). Disclaimer: I know, use, and enjoy all 3 but I'm a professional C# developer.
