I have hints but most of mine are specific, i would suggets however Python as a good beginning language to start with and get used to program.

http://www.python.org is a good start. If you don't want to start with Python as it really is extremely basic just ask in Beginners Section and i'd be happy to help.
By the way...

Hi comamc,

Welcome to the forum

Have you ever heard of the book "Learn C in 24 Hours" ? I read that one and it was a brilliant book in which I learned loads of information.

Learn C in 24 Hours

You like the 24hr books dissolutions? I've never been a big fan.. Personally I have always like the bible books but I think that's because it fits my style a bit more.

I'm not much of a Lesson 1, Lesson 2, type of guy. I prefer the, here is a problem and this is a solution. So I guess it's all in a persons tastes.

[Travis]

Well I can't buy books **not rich enough to pay 50+ dollars per book** so I need something quyickly and lessons work so much better in time wise.

And ebooks dont get me started

Have you found that you work better under pressure (such as management or an Employer) than without, like on your own or vice versa?
