I need help, I want to learn a programming language

[DPeteD]

Im hoping that someone on the escapist here can help introduce me to programming, the reason being I want to try my hand at it so I can decide if I want to learn something like it for university or not.
Remember I have had no experince at all so please, baby steps

I appreciate any help.

You might want to start with Python. It's a high-level language that's easy to learn, yet powerful enough to accomplish real-world things. You can find the main site for it tutorials [http://wiki.python.org/moin/FrontPage] for people who are new to programming.

I concur with Killington. Python is incredibly simple and easy to learn. It is a good introduction to the basics. Of course, you won't learn the really important stuff like Object Oriented programming from it, but it is a good introduction. Just don't expect to be able to do a lot beyond the basics with it.
