  • Answer:

    Hmmm... yes... there are many books available that can teach you the basics of programming... you can also go to microsoft and download their free Express Programming languages... microsoft also has videos you can download or view online... they teach some of the lower level programming.. but if you are totally unfamiliar with programming you will want to start with some books... there are several languages to program... you have machine language... which is all 1's and 0's like the computer uses... (not used much anymore) you have assembly language... where you have to tell the computer EVERY step along the way... in minute details... most people hate this kind of programming... but it gives the most control over what is happening in your program... then you have higher level languages... like Basic, C#, C++, Java, Fortran, Pascal, etc... each language has it's own uses... strengths and drawbacks... there are also Visual languages... which Microsoft has the Express versions for free... which you program by dragging and dropping... quite visual rather than textual based... Check out: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/ then check out the videos they have available at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualcsharp/learning/default.aspx#beginners don't let the C# bother you... you can choose the language at that website... and they have a LOT of videos and example projects to help you along... you might want to talk to your local computer geeks to find out about any clubs that will help too.

Firstly, what sort of language do you want to learn?Javascript is a good one if you want to learn how to write programs that run in web pages. And, its free; you already have the interpreter in your browser ;-) You just need to find some tutorials on the web. Or look on Amazon for books about it. You need to focus on one language to startwith. learn about the structure of programs; if statements, loops etc Try this link at download.com: http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0-2-0.html?qt=programming&ca=20&excl=10557387&excl=10521857 There are some (free) downloadable interpreters here. Good luck :)
