The first, you must understand ATA standard. With programming language, you can use C/C++

You need to read the T10 & T13 documents to understand the standard HDD. For instance, if you want to know the HDD information, you can issue INQUIRY command for SCSI HDD. Programming just a languge how you code and is no related with HDD standard. Normally we will use C/C++.

You can use many different languages, C/C++/C#, Delphi, ASM, i have even seen some code for python for low level drive access.
