Learning to Program Resources.

[hillbillybob]

I have used books, and I have googled my problems. Here are some good resources online that I have found.

First, the best of both worlds. It isn't free, but you get access to an insane number of books, online, for a decent amount, that you can read cover to cover. (base is 20 dollars a month I believe)

I started writing code in the 5th grade. I picked up one of my fathers text books and just hammered it until I got it. I agree I haven't found just a "basics of programming, period" book, but you can still pick up on some of em by reading language specific books. O'reilly books, which weren't around as much back then, seem to be really good. When they say beginner, they mean beginner. Thanks for the devguru site, I wanted to polish up on my scripting.

Let's keep 'em coming people.
