    Well, considering computer programming is such a narrow topic, it might be hard to find anything about it...

    What kind of programming?

    there are tons of html tutorials on the web. you can learn html in just a couple hours. http://www.htmlgoodies.com

    java is a good language for beginners to learn programming. i'd just go to the local library and borrow whatever java books they've got there.

    Well, html isn't exactly programming. I have never read a book on perl or java or html, just learned from online tutes, and trial and error. I don't know much programming, but if I need to figure out how to do something, by browsing around resources on the web, I can figure it out. But a "real" book may be okay too, probably well worth it. They are popular, so I guess lots of people like em.

    http://blacksun.box.sk/tutorials.html has some decent tutorials on programming and HTML, among other things.

    ignore the other things because the probably arent kosher as far as the rules of this place goes.

    I learn by browsing through the source code, wether it's perl or html or javascript. You'll need some practice and experience, and there's always the trial and error procedures.

    I think LeX has the best answer. Learn by trial and error and by doing. having a guide could help too

    I prefer a good book to start with. After that, you can follow some on-line advanced tutorials and watch some source codes to learn more.

    But you have to pay for books , not for on-line tutorials.
    On the other side, a book reads faster than an tutorial ...

    But you have to pay for books

    use a library or shoplift and you don't!

    books can be nice and reasuring but the web is a great resource for web related stuff.

    I go with the trial and error approach and look at the source of pages when you can

    learn a little every day and it soon adds up

    my advice is to see what you can do now rather than not doing anything till you've learnt how to do it (if that makes sense)
