You're all idiots except for me

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

one of these books is better for people managing IT projects and the other one is several levels of difficulty and complexity above what anyone new to the field can use. I really like both of them, but I think they're not what OP is asking for.

Would recommend this for a basic, exercise-driven overview of the most fundamental concepts in programming:
http://studio.code.org/s/20-hour

That's just a starting point and it's pretty graphics-oriented, but it's free and it's easy to use. Be sure to click the button to see the actual code produced so you can get a feel for what's going on there.

And for more depth and rigor and "fit together", I like Russell Shackelford's Introduction To Computing And Algorithms - you can pick up this book and work your way through it even if you know nothing about computers except how to turn em on and off.

After getting through all that, consider looking up one of the online MIT courses on Intro To Computing or stuff like that! There's a ton of great information available free online. Good luck, anon.
