You didn’t mention the language that you want to learn.<p>I suggest taking a free introductory programming course at <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.edx.org&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.edx.org&#x2F;</a> or a paid course at Coursera.com. Having assignments, and a discussion forum to message with other students and instructors adds value to the experience.<p>I have mostly used Common Lisp, Java, C++, and Python (in that order). Even though it is not my favorite language, I suggest starting with Python because of the rich library ecosystem.<p>I do not recommend starting with JavaScript and doing web apps. You would spend more time learning different frameworks than learning to program.
