@Bowe: The Lynda tutorials are fantastic. So much better than a book because you can watch and code at the same time (just pause the video). And the concepts are explained AS you see the code being typed in the video. So much better than a book. Of course… one tutorial won’t turn you into a programmer. You have to actually do it and practice it to get any good at it. Like anything. But it’s a great start and at least you will be able to look at existing code and understand (or at least get the gist of) what is going on.
