Say I knew nothing about computers or programming languages or anything but I at least knew how to type or whatever. Could someone tell me where to start like on how to get into programming stuff. I wish to somehow learn level design of some sort for like games maybe, but I don't even know where to start with programming languages. I literally can't even put my confusion in to words I'm so confused.

What language should I learn first? Where would I find a tutorial that could teach me everything down to the very last line of code I should write and know how to read? Where do I branch out from there? I wanna start lessons on Lynda.com. But I don't know what the first lesson I should take is.

I need someone to help me. Will give fg for answers to my questions please and thank you.

Just take a programming class in school, Java or C is your best bet, stay away from C++ unless you really want to be fucking confused.

I don't go to school as you know. I need something where I can self learn programming like all those other super geniuses out there, but idk where to even get started. I wanna somehow learn everything about programming and how to use it in Python.

There is a wealth of free information about programming online. I'm learning python right now. You can set up a server with 6 lines of code in python ;) All you have to do is read through some tutorials and documentation. No class required.

someone recommended me these lectures, I think I'm at least finally starting to understand a bit more. Anyway, I think I couldn't describe part of my confusion before but now I can. I just needed someone who could explain all the terms I was reading about, like booleans, the syntax and semantics. But those lectures helped me to finally understand quite a bit of it.

For python, try these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKTZoB2Vjuk
requires very basic programming knowledge at most (i.e. know what variables, string, boolean etc are)
