Right now I know python, so what next? Should I try learning asm now? Python is a very simple language so would I struggle a bit with assembler?

Learn C#/C++ or Java. Don't do assembly unless you know your experienced enough or you really want to learn it.

I guess C++ is the way to go then. Well, I'm starting tomorrow. I already found some nice free tuts.

A functional language (GHC/Haskell, for example) or a logic language (prolog) would be good choices to broaden your skill-set beyond imperative/oo languages. Doubly so if your tests feature more computation than IO.

ps - Java is in no way more advanced than C++. Try implementing multiple inheritance in a compiler.

I dislike how people say you have to learn 1 language before you learn another. It really doesn't matter. No matter what language you pick, there's gonna be syntax to learn and programming concepts to grasp. If you want to do gamehacking c++ is the way. If you want to do general programming, i say java. I find java more difficult for some things and easier for others.

From Python to Java would bore you I think, Java is similar in syntax, not exact but similar.

Try Perl, or if you are ready to move away from interpreted languages pick one.

If it's for hacking, the most important thing, the final objective, is to understand how a computer works. Specifically, how a compiler translates instructions, structures, classes... into instructions for the processor (that's what it's all about, in the end).
So, I'd go with (at least the bases of) asm*, and C++ (enough low-level to see the asm behind; enough high-level to do anything). Disassembling your programs also helps A LOT.

*when I say asm, i don't mean you should write entire programs in asm (even if that would really help): some scripts in CE can do the trick.

On the other hand, if you're into programming from another point of view, well.. what language you should pick next really depends on what you want to do. Languages are becoming more and more human-friendly and are getting farther and farther from being the "human-interface" of asm they were in the beginning.

From the hacking point of view, a program written in a low level language is easy to disassemble and quite straight-forward when it comes to the asm, but try disassembling an empty winforms project.
