w3schools can help you at the begining, but you need a serious book/e-book if you want to learn something professional

It is very important to anyone to have a very good knowledge of C/C++.

Yeah it is possible to learn online.
First of all buy some books of programming language you want to learn then join online programmers community of that particular language.
I will suggest you to join stackoverflowdotcom which is very helpful programmer community.
Note: If you wana be best programmer then you need to be patient cz in start you will feel its impossible for me to learn it all the things will be stranger but with passage of time you will learn all the tricks... learning a new programming language is just like riding on bicycle first time.
best of luck

If it's your first time programming you should get a teacher for about 5-10 hours just to give a kickstart.

After that google search, web forums, right click on web pages to see their code (copy/paste/test it).

And some of the bookmarks that helped me:

dreamweaverspot_com
www_w3_org
www_htmlgoodies_com

Anybody have any suggestions on which programming language would be best to start off with? Perhaps help us identify which languages are helpful for what applications. Thanks.

Just read Lynda.com is $25.oo a month for basic sub to $375 annual sub. Thought I would share that info.

MIT courseware seems worth looking at. It has free course from computer science to aerospace technology. Complete with vids and open free membership to join a study group in order to help each other through the course. VTC is also a paid program at $30 month.

I had to learn java on my Uni course and i found the youtube java tutorial videos taught me 100x more than my lectures ;)

Was thinkin about learning C++, and if i do i'd use youtube to do it ;)

Easiest way to learn programming is to first define a language you want to learn.. On my own experience, if you are an IMer.. well PHP, MYSQL, JSCRIPT are the top things to learn, of course plus some good html and css.

Start by reading some good intros on php, and start coding!

Start by learning the basics.

You could spend hundred or thousands of dollars in a community college and probably 6 months of work to learn the art, or...

You could learn online through many different open course ware provided by the top University in the entire US.

Search for "ocw.mit.edu" in google, navigate to engineering, and narrow it down to electrical engineering and computer science, click on the first course and you could start from there.

You could watch a series of video lectures and there are programming assignment that will make you learn the basic concepts of programming. MIT is a really good school and don't doubt your ability just because it's a hard school to get in. The time you spent there is worth it.

This is better than jumping straight into a community course where you have no idea of what you are getting yourself into.

Also I would recommend that you search google for forums on programming on whatever programming language you are learning, this will be a tremendous help by asking and reading different post.

But after all, it really depends on what you are trying to achieve and how much of an effort you are willing to put. Other people would recommend you to learn php or html. It is indeed a good start and in the world of IM, those two are definitely crucial.

Sometimes in programming, unless you are really passionate and you know what you are doing, it could be frustrating in times where you just want to give up, so finding a small project that you are exciting about and willing to spent some time to work on it and get your self motivated are also another way to get started.

So learn the basics first, and then start doing some project on your own. PM me if you need help or got questions.

Yes very much so, I recommend at least a few books to get started like a beginning C book, but I'm entirely self taught largely thanks to the internet and I managed to program a full scale CMS in php

w3 is the site where you easily learn the programming.

Re: how to learn programming?
 
Sure you can use many online ebooks that are written for this purpose. You should at least know HTML and javascript better. Its not hard to learn it but it needs time

I want to learn C++ as it is included in my course. I am not getting it understood by my teacher so I want to learn it by myself. I started to read the book of robert lafore but he recommended to understand C++ you must be comfortable with C.

I really like the Head First books. Just google Head First <language to learn> and see if it's available.
