First choose a language to begin with, depending on which tool you have.
I recommend to start with managed language: VB/VBA, C#, Java/JavaScript ...
Avoid C and C++ at beginning.

My road map:
- Follow language tutorials (many).
- Read the language documentation (at least a good part).
- Remember that Google is your friend.
- Abuse of Debugger to see what the code is doing step by step, it gives you an invaluable understanding of what is going on, check variables.
- Master Boolean Algebra, it is ubiquitous, Every time you test something, you use Boolean algebra.
- Master some analyse methods, Dijkstra Top-Down method is a good start.

This is just to get you started, don't skip steps.
