There is an internet of resources. The best thing I'd suggest is pick something that interests you and study like heck. Google.com is a valuable resource, use it wisely

Just an example of what you can find through a simple search, Webmonkey is a nice how-to site for all kinds of programming, and it has beginner guides. There are all kinds of information sources. If you want to learn something specific, Google is amazing with specific searches. Tutorials are everywhere on the net. You just need to devote some time.

Trial and error.....or go to college! But yeah, search Google for what interests you and learn as much about it as you can. You won't believe how fast you can pick this tech stuff up.

The best way to learn is by experimenting! Use the net to find out how to do things then try to do them for yourself... it can be rewarding to learn this way... nice sense of acomplishment... good luck!

Try something new and if you screw up, don't give up. Learn how the thing works and fix it

I just learned everything I know by teaching myself. Give it a couple of good years and you will learn alot by fixing problems with your PC.
