go look at the g an sci wikis what are good skills for programers anc computer scientists.
Then learn each skill in the most recomended book, practicing a lot and lurking stack exchange.
The best way is to buy a good programming book, and start working through it. Don't just read, actually write the code with your fingers.
Once you get the basics just start tinkering. Build a program to scrape html from 4chan, build a simple chat program, build some games.
The majority of programming jobs are web development, so look into that.C# using ASP.NET MVC is a wonderful way to start in my opinion, and there are plenty of jobs for it
