What is the best and fastest way to learn computer programming?


I need a program that teaches me how to do computer programming the way Rosetta Stone teaches languages.
Any suggestions?
I have the feeling that the term "computer programming" covers a wide range of topics, so could someone who knows what I’m talking about clarify exactly what I’m trying to learn because I really have no idea.

    First of all computer programming is not something you learn in a short time.

    It takes many years to learn.
    You never stop learning.
    New techniques, languages, technology are always emerging.
    Writing a few hundred lines of code and getting a program that does what you want does not make you a programmer.
    You have to consider future maintenance of your program.
    A program can contain hundreds of thousands of lines of code and hundreds of files.

    People who just start coding without learning the concepts of Software Engineering end up putting out unmaintainable, unreadable, untraceable lumps of code they call a program.

    just do simple programmes initially and learn from ur mistakes
    and then do big stuff later

    Actually there are vast numbers of computer programming exist today. You have to choose specific language for you to learn in a fast and comforting way. After you will learn one language, you can then move to other languages with no difficulty at all. Try it!

    Many people like Java and if you learn it well you can then move to another language with out to many problems. There are tons of questions about books and web sites on java so do a search. The language you go with really is a personal choice at first in my opinion but you should think about what you want to do with it and let that direct you. For me I work with Unix and a lot of admin task so I do shell scripting with perl and bash. If you want to do games maybe java or C++ would be the right choice. The funnest way to learn for me is to pick a simple program I could use and learn as I make it. Below are some book series I like.
