re: How to start learning how to program?

I am the firm believe that you wont really learn it until you have a target goal in mind.

Figure out what you want to build first, then that will point you in the direction of what language you should start with.

I know there are a lot of tutorials out there for Python and supposedly is very beginner friendly.

I started with VBA for office, so I could do more advanced statistics in spreadsheets.
