new to programming: suggestion

[DomF]

In addition to the great programming books suggested by by others, I would
recommend "Code" by Charles Petzold, Microsoft press. This is a great book
about how computers work at a fundamental level, from switches with
lightbulbs and batteries to assembly language!
