I'd like to learn the basics of some programming language but I have no programming experience whatsoever. I looked at Emma's Learning Quest Framework and thought that might be a great idea for a group of people who wanted to learn how to program. I downloaded something called Code Blocks from http://www.codeblocks.org/ , that I thought I might be able to learn C++ on, since it is a language in high demand and you can do lots of things with it. I guess I'm looking for something universal thats not incredibly difficult to get started and wondering if there are others interested in forming a group to learn a programming language.
