Well those aren't beginner apps.lol. But C/C++ , Inside/out knowledge of the OS you are using( Tcp/ip stack,sockets, low level driver knowledge , file system etc) and maybe some basic assembly language.
I recommend the Windows Internals 5th or 6th edition book if you want to write those types of apps on windows or on Linux just about any Linux programming book will do.

Wrapped up my CCDP
I'm now looking at Juniper certifications
Props..
You still doing cisco voice? What path you heading onto? with the ccdp?
Asking cause i know you do voice and we about to get cisco phones here and i got an opportunity to get in from the ground floor with this..
Yea I'm working on the CCNP voice.
I already have the CCNA voice. I did the CCDP because it's basically one exam since I already have a CCNP.
The voice stuff is big. You won't make less than 6 figures if you master it.
Via Coursera? If so @FreshFromATL is right. Almost every class uses R. I took most courses from the first leg (Still Archived) but didn't pay to get the certificate.

I admire your aspiration but those type of apps have dedicated TEAMS of people working on them. Start with something simple and go from there.

For networking, network+ after that I went for the CCNA and then the calls started coming in

Find a course that covers programming basics and methodologies. Once you learn how to program, you can apply the skills to any language inside of a week or two. Be like water.
I recommend this course. Money not needed and you can download the lectures and material from MIT or iTunesU. Language used is Python which is extremely popular, but again, this is irrelevant for the time being. No need to focus on a specific language and get caught up in complexity. Think in terms of streamlining...what is the next step you should take to get where you wish to go? Whatever it is, do that my friend.

Same advice as above. Though you can follow a stricter path. No need to get caught up in a bunch of certificates. Just find one and figure out the next step.
After being "about that life" and fukking up a lot, I finally mellowed out and I'm getting my AS in Computer Science in December. Should I get them certs as well? 
I was thinking of starting to study for the A+ unless you think networking certs will open more opportunities?
