Not the best way to go around, imo, since you can learn to do programs the wrong way, and it will be difficult to fix later. Learn the basics first, and in the books theres always examples and problems they help you solve, so you'll be programming, and learning the right way as well.
I agree with this. My first couple comp sci class we didn't even use a real programming language. It was some bullshit learning language the school wrote so we could spend time understanding the basics... It rly sucked since all I wanted to do was write programs but... Honestly, we learned how to learn a language. I'm confident I could learn any language in a matter of days now.
