I'm interested in finally learning a programming language

To me it seemed like the kind of software that holds your hands pretending to teach you while never taking the training wheels off, but who knows if it'll work for you. Try it out; it's not like there's any commitment.

python is fun, pretty easy too.

fun to use on a *nix system.

coursera or codeacamdemy is fine, book is better if you can commit

if your on windows consider C# after. gets a lot done and is nice to use

I started with Python on Codecademy, went from there to books. This was like 4 years back. I'm now pursuing my masters in software engineering.

Codecademy is a good place to start, it's not going to get your a job immediately but it'll go over the fundamentals you need to really start learning.

Buy AIMA and work through it from cover to cover.

learning any programming language is first about getting a foothold into the domain. the notion that your first programming language should be traumatic is hazing frat boy shit.

OP here, I should probably have mentioned that I have previous experience with c++ due to a course I took in high school years ago but I don't remember any of the material because I never kept up with it.

CodeAcademy is what I recommend to everyone. Go for it.
