First, wear a helmet. Second, find a prog. Third, ram as hard as you can.

You are now a programmer.

If a child can learn programming, you can too.

Search the web for tutorials on programming. It shouldn't be too hard to find a few. Maybe try to program in Pascal or something? I don't know which is the best language for beginners.

Not C or C++ because of the low-level functionality and such.

http://www.programmingtutorials.com/ looks like a good place to start.

Hope this helps.

Visual Basic is an easy language to pick up.

Select button from the toolbox.
Drag the button out on the GUI to place button.
Double Click button to view code.
Type: msgbox "Hello world!"
Hit the compile button.

And there you have a nice program that says "Hello world!"
It's not good for working low level, optimising code or making games though.

You can grab MS VB.NET Express Edition for free from their website.

Shut the fuck up. Get the fuck away from here.

Start from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming
When you will get to learn some language, I'd recommend Python because it is simple and illustrative.
Then proceed with Scheme, then C, Perl, Tcl, Ruby, Prolog, Erlang, Haskell etc

Start with ASM to have a solid historical perspective.

Shouldn't you be off some where currying some functions?

You're thinking of Haskell programmers. Lisp coders usually find currying too much of a bother.
