Tips to Learn Programming:
1. Don't jump start into complex language like Java but start with python as it encourages beginners and is composed of basically every little aspect in programming.
2. Get a handy reference book. Make sure it's the latest version as languages keep updating.
3. Start with something fun, motivate yourself to solving challenges, progressing your skills in logical problem solving.
4. If you are learning Java then work with NetBeans 7.3.1, it's very cool and easy.
5. Java has a powerful concept called multithreading. Study it carefully.
6. Use Eclipse when writing a program. It's an extremely useful program that can debug your code and you can rub your code instantly, as well as using the package explorer to flick through multiple files of your code.
7. By heart the syntax is a must. You are free to apply it in your own way. Study some sample programs then start coding your own.
