A couple of avenues are C, C++ and LUA; I hear LUA is easier if you don't know much or are just beginning. C/C++ code can be used with devkitARM to compile programs for the 3DS, and if you're familiar with Java, C/C++ might be easier.

Whatever you end up doing, start off small (really small), and then gradually build your way up. Pong seems simple, but I'd say even simpler than that.

Start really small like kyouken said. Like a home brew that prints "hello world" to the screen

Something to note is that you'll need prior C/C++ experience if you decide to go down the devkitPro route. And if you do, there are slight changes in your habits you need to make (such as making use of aptMainLoop(), always remembering to initialize the screen(s), flushing and swapping framebuffers, event oriented programming, and so on).
