If you want to turn this into a career - CDJ's and a mixer.

As a hobby - Controller. Not to bash, I use an S4 and TT's, but a career DJ uses the equipment that will be at his job (a.k.a. the club), which means buying the mixer set-up and learning on CDJs or timecoded vinyl.

Honestly though, start with a controller. You can learn the fundamentals of DJing on one just fine. Make it a hobby at first. If you find out you like it (like I have) upgrade your equipment. For instance, I'll be selling my S4 soon and buying a Denon dn-x1600. The s4 is nice because it's modular, but it's also expensive at 900 dollars.

How much do you have to spend?

or even learning ableton and going that route with something like the APC40

I said controller. I just used the S4 as an example. That's why I asked how much he had to spend, so I might point him in the right direction.
