Maybe JavaScript http://www.crays.com/
learn or http://www.w3schools.com/ 's JavaScript section.

I think that JavaScript is the easiest scripting language, maybe PHP is easier, if you think that is the case then:
http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ has a lot of more advanced PHP tutorials, easy ones can be found at http://www.phpbuddy.com/

I would suggest php, i'm learning php myself, and find it easier to understand than most programming languages. I'd suggest downloading the php manual found at http://php.net/ and for extra help going to http://www.phpfreaks.com/

javascript is almost as basic as html... after you learn that, it is a great starting point for other programing languages. After learning javascript php will be simple. There are TONS of javascript pages out there to help you get started.

There are a lot of good books out there...just go to your local bookstore and check out the computer/web programming section (or something similar). The next question is, do you want to learn server-side scripting or client-side? For client-side, definitely go with javascript. For server-side, I would highly recommend PHP, although you need hosting that supports it (same goes for ASP, Perl, and every other server-side language). Most of all, examine what you need to do with the scripting, that's your best guide!! Good Luck!!

Hm..I also set this question to myself many times! I always wanted to know hot to make programs, but as soon as I started learning anything just a lil bit I was dissapointed as it is so hard to learn how to do that! I stopped then thinking about it :POtherwise I alwas enjoyed making websites and I must say that in all these years of using interface-programs I leanred html and php quite lot, mostly because I needed to as I had to correct a mistake, insert JAVA or something..That was not acctually an answer to your question, but it is helpful beacuse you know that you are not alone with this problem :huh:greetz
