Ask HN: Which resources would you recommend to get started with programming?
I have no experience in computer science or programming, but I would like to learn as much I can.
I have taught middle school history for the last 7 years and have some ideas for educational applications that I would like to one day implement. But the intellectual challenges of programming also appeal to me.
Which resources would you recommend for a beginner?

- timf 16y agoI would say pick one language to begin with and spend about a year trying out beginner material, building small things, and learning how to find information for yourself online. I suggest Python, check out these resources: http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers
