I taught myself programming at age 9 with no Internet access. Today there are many more resources available... You can find tutorials for almost any language in YouTube. Then, you have large communities in IRC servers such as Freenode that are very helpful. Then, get Zeal (or Dash, etc) and some documentation for whatever technology you are working on. Koans can be a good way of getting used to a language as well.
