Again, this question came from a hijacked thread, but addresses important issues.
I would like to get a feel for programming, can anyone suggest any books or free tutorial websites? I heard that Python is easy to understand and learn.
Some suggestions given were:

http://www.programmingforums.org/for...ial-links.html
Get a book with the word "Beginner" in the title.
