Hi, I'm really confused. Where can I learn programming ?

I've tried to learn some python but it seems difficult for me

what is the best way to learn ? write more code ?

what do you think of this book ? Head first programming ? is it good?

Go to a specialised college maybe? Trying to teach yourself something that complex on your own will be a lot harder.
 
What do you want to accomplish? Do you want to build software, games, websites, ... ? Maybe CS50 from harvard (Introduction to computer science) is something for you if you want to get into programming.
 
Start from basic C programming, once you understood the format, syntax, algo then you can learn any language quickly.
 
There are a ton of resources online where you can get a good start.

C is the underlying language for a ton of languages. You won't use it directly on the web most of the time. But Java and C++ are "C style languages", meaning they came from C (they're also written in C).

If you want to learn and get down to work immediately, then Java is going to be more direct than C. Otherwise if you wanna go into the details why everything works, then C.

www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming is a good place to learn. Check the links on the sidebar.

C++ is better option but as it is object oriented you can start with C and upgrade to C++.

I recommend Let Us C by : Yashavant Kanetkar

and

Programming in ANSI C by : E. Balagurusamy
 
search for a local school. If no school near your place, maybe travel to another place to study. You can save yourself years of time by learning from a real teacher than by yourself.
 
To learn programming you have to understand the algorithm and you have to understand the basic programming :)
 
What do you want to learn to do? Why do you want to learn to program?
 
first understand things like scope ( this is a huge thing ) and other programming concepts, then choose your language depending on what exactly you want to do. I started with Ruby , but python is also good ( esp for scripting ). As far as resources i started on codecademy , then i did freecodecamp for html and css basics , but if you really want to go all in I was enrolled at Launchschool and they have a really good program if you are serious about it ( but they seem to lean heavily towards backend programming which is why i had to look elsewhere ).
 
Try to look up the Introduction to computer science using python from MIT on edx site
 
There are a lot of resources online, but i still recommend to find some local course.
 
It's more about the end goal. All program languages are useful but some are used in more industries than others. Java is quite an easy place to start, this site is cool it gives you interactive lessons and covers lots of languages:

https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-java
 
Udemy, Udacity, Pluralsight, Edx, etc etc. Tons of websites where you can learn.
 
Well first you can learn HTML & CSS (which are not programming languages),then move into PHP,there you can learn the basic logic
After you have done that learn java or c++ or whatever you intend to do
For html and php there are many free online courses and examples you can also learn from youtube
