As already admitted I'm not a professional programmer, so if that's his goal I cannot really give a recommendation.

But if one really wants to know the computer and the science behind computer science, I recommend two things:

* some form of assembly language (68000 is fine, Z80 as well, 8086 too)
With this (plus some context) you learn how a computer works. Surprisingly many people don't have a clue about this. It will help you put things in perspective and have an idea about the cost (speed/memory) of things.

* lisp and forth (or my favorite, rpl which combines the beauty of both). you learn to program without having to worry about syntax, boilterplate and frameworks.
