If interested in learning computer programming, where should I start?

If I want to begin to study computer programming, with absolutely no previous experience, where should I start?

Which would be the best language to start with, if there is such a thing?

Any book/software recommendations for self teaching?

    For a beginner, I would recommend Visual Basic or C#. You can download Microsoft’s Express edition of Visual Basic or C# for free at http://www.microsoft.com/express/product

    There are plenty of beginners books for every language out there, theyre easy to find! You’ll see them in any book shop.

    I would suggest learning either a C language or Java. I prefer C myself, there a 3 different types of the C language, these are: C, C# and C++ and they are all pretty similar so if you learn one it’s easy to use the others. C++ is most commonly used.
