What are some great books to read if you want to learn computer programming for the first time?

I want to learn computer programming on my own so i WANT SOMETHING THAT WILL TEACH ME EVERYTHING i NEED TO KNOW AND SOMETHING THAT WILL EXPLAIN IT WELL.

A book targeted at the novice in computer programming is
Beginning Programming for Dummies by Wallace Wang.
Besides a good introduction (chapter 1: Learning Computer Programming for the First Time), it has a CD with Liberty Basic,

There are also many on-line courses, such as

http://www.learn-programming.za.net/ which gives an introduction
to several languages (C, C++, C#, Java, Pascal,…)

and

http://www.programmingtutorials.com/,
a site with links to the programming language you prefer.

Good luck.

    First of all you’ll need to establish which programming language or languages you wish to learn. Each have their pros and cons - some have more support available online than others, some are old and obsolete, some are more difficult to learn to others. Some languages require the use of paid software and compilers to use - others are pretty much free to get started with.

    The link below may help you answer some of the basic questions you’ll need to ask yourself before you dive into the world of programming.

    Learning Computer Programming Languages i like learning a forign language, first you have to spacify the languge that you want to learn second start to search for books learn you how to use this language.
    as a fresh programmer you can start with Visual Baisc.NET.
    its cool and easy to learn, hope that you got what you want :)
