Best Free Ways to Learn Programming. I can remember back when I was young how alien a couple of lines of code that were published in a kid's magazine looked to me.

Some twenty years later (or should I better say a year ago), I decided that I should teach myself how to create some small and usable programs. Sad to say, I lost interest shortly after. Well, this year I tried again. This time I installed a different programming language, downloaded some tutorials from Youtube and I also borrowed some books on programming from my local library.
