Calculus won't help you at all with programming, generally.

The only math that might help you is discrete mathematics or formal logic, but its not required.

You don't need Calculus for programming. I took AP Java in HS before I took Calculus.. just know your basic algebra... sooner or later you'll need to know higher math. Calculus is geared more towards engineering/sciences.
