When I first wanted to learn programming about three years ago, I decided to learn C/C++, as I heard that it was fast, and one of the most used languages in the industry. I bought a book, mainly "Sams teach yourself C++ in one hour a day", and studied it constantly. I must have read through it at least 3 times, and doing so allowed me to memorize the concepts i was being taught and gain a better understanding of the language. If i was you, I would buy a book, or watch a good set of online tutorials. It'll be a long journey before you can call yourself a proficient programmer, but the journey is fun and rewarding if you are passionate about the subject.
