So after browsing through forums I see people suggestest more on learning to program with basic "wich is what I saw the most advised to begginers"

Now ive never programed anything at all, so whats the easiest book/software to start out with....

something that even george bush would understand..

A lot of people claim that BASIC ("Bill's Attempt to Seize Industry Control") brings bad habits. If you don't already know a programming language, I'd suggest starting with Python.

Hi GBAJAY
I would consider starting directly with C.
It's a nice language which you will enjoy if learned from some good source. It's plenty of tutorials around the net but the book I really love is C Primer Plus, for beginners with no knowledge at all.

You can find more about it here:

Give it a look, it's brilliant!

Thanks
