I've learned some programming languages in high school, not too deeply, but I understand some concepts of it.
Learning programming is more than learn a language and its syntax. You have to master a few other things.
My short list:
- Start with an easy/safe language: VB, Java, C#, not C
- Read documentation / Follow tutorials (a lot of them)
- Start with tiny/useless projects, the purpose is to learn programming, not doing something useful.
- Start with console mode programs (no fancy graphics, no mouse)
- Learn debugger

- A problem ? Google is your friend.
- Learn

- Master some analyse methods,
Dijkstra Top-Down method is a good start.

Remember the exercises and little projects are not here to make something useful, they are here to teach you programming.
