I have to take an intro to computer programming class next semester and want to get a head start. It is described as: "Computer organization and operation. Binary representation of information. Fundamentals of computer programming using a C family language: data types, selection and iteration structures, functions, arrays, pointers, scope and duration of variables. Systematic design and development of computer programs."
I'm afraid of programming so any help would be appreciated.|||Programming in C by Stephen G. Kochan

The GNU C Programming Tutorial

In programming you'll maybe learn fifty or one hundred more. the rest of it is about variables, counting and testing conditions.
when a program you write is executed (run) it will execute your statements in the order you entered them.
variables are like simple algebra statements. so x = 5 is a statement. y = x + 5 is a little more complicated.
counting is a loop thing. the program keeps repeating what it's doing - that's a loop.
conditions are tests of whether something is true or false. for example 4 is less than 5 is true but 5 is less than 4 is false.
pretty much everything you do will decompose down to these basic things.|||One book that really helped me learn programming in many different languages is Programming for Dummies. If you want a specific programming language lie C++ or C then I recommend C++ for Dummies. C++ is one step up from C so if you can learn it then you will have no problem with programming in C. Personally I like programming in Visual Basic and Java but did learn everything from basic up.
