Thank you,

I have had some "experience" in python programming but I dont just want to learn scripting; I also want to learn visual programs, but yeah I'll try out the books that you recomended. So far I have been learning through itunes-u and some free stanford classes.

If you want to do visual programming, check out the Processing languange (http://processing.org) as well as Hackety-Hack (http://hackety-hack.com), which is a Ruby Environment for kids of any age to learn how to program.

Hackety-Hack.com also has a StackOverflow-like Question/Answer page for people new to programming to get assistance.

Programming is fun and rewarding, but it's also one of the most challenging mental exercises you can submit yourself to. Be prepared to feel discouraged once and a while but don't let it sink in. Anyone with drive can learn to program!
