That's actually a very interesting in general. "Programming" is a vague concept though. You can code a lot of things using only very simple algorithms and data structures. Most of the paid projects I worked on for the past year were not exceeding (eastern-european) high school level of mathematics. To answer your question - maybe try to pick up books that focus more on programming language and simple algorithms than mathematically complicated things. The first one I've got when being a kid was a classic The C Programming Language by Dennis Ritchie.
