Question

What is the first thing I should learn about computer programing?

Answer 1

Depends on what you want the computer to do. Learn program flow. The MIT video lecture series is very helpful to start. http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-00-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-fall-2008/video-lectures/

Answer 2

i think you need learn about algorithm...

Answer 3

learn a language and start coding, it's really the best way to learn

I start my students off with flowcharting. Understanding how computers work and how programs are designed is more important than learning any one programming language.
