Learn Code the Hard Way is a collection of similar resources that's online that I rather enjoy.
I would think that an introduction to programming for children would probably be more along the lines of "Learn Code the Easy Way".

Do you know of some online places where similar resources can now be found?

Sooner or later, you're going to hit hard tasks in coding. The Learn Code the Hard Way prepares you for it from the very beginning. If you don't like challenges and problems (and solving / overcoming them,) then you shouldn't be coding.
The title says it's the hard way to learn to write code; but it's actually not. It's only the "hard" way because it's the way people used to teach things using instruction.
I think I'll start with C. I'm gonna follow the guide posted here before. Python then C> obj- c
You can start Objective-C straight away using Steven Kochan's "Programming in Objective-C". It assumes no prior programming experience. A lot of people would say you should learn C first. For me personally the opposite ended up being more fruitful. I dived into Obj-C, and then started learning about C and had a few eye-openers and a-ha moments that tied into my experience with Obj-C. Worked really well for me.
I have a few chapters written but I'm always learning new things that renders what I've already written obsolete...
I'm 20 years old and feel like its too late as there is tons of programming languages..
Without a physical or mental limitation you pretty much do anything you like.
not been interested in technology
I say Java is generally a good place to start. Chances are where you take school will do something.
I think I'm going to follow your lead and go with Learn C the hard way. The author suggests new folks start with python. In python it is suggested to work on command line so I went with his tutorial with that first.
Where did u start and what are you working on. Perhaps we could keep pace together and group study through this.
I believe (and got it proven by my own experience), one needs nothing, but being really interested, or even passionate to the matter in order to get "professional". Nevertheless, the trick is one must be DOING it, not thinking of, if is he capable or not
By the way, i have never learned English, just was using it to read all that programming and other, mostly technical books with a dictionary first. Than i was reading some everyday texts, listening to the music, TV, (online) radio and so on, and now i can really speak it. Way not as fluent and correctly, as my native language, or even Spanish, which i was learning in the school, but however... Just because i was in need of it, and i was doing to use it no more, no less!
I downloaded a flashcard app for the exercises. I can send u the cards if you download the app flashcard+. Plus u can search existing card directories too.

Everyone will jump on me, but I started with fortran. That's all I use, for scientific programming, even today. That was 1958! For scientific programming today, I expect the "correct" answer is C. For e.g. computer games, I have no idea, and of course no interest anyway. Programming is fun, it is nice to see what you visualized actually appear on the screen!Thanks everyone for the comments, but someone has yet to tell me where I should start XD

I believe the "correct" answer for both computer games and scientific programming today is C++. MatLab might also be the "correct" answer for scientific programming.)
