I have found that the best way to learn programming is to write programs. The most fun programs to write are often games, because they are motivating, interesting and the end result is something you don't tire of immediately. It is after all, a game. I'm not talking of learning to program by building the next 3-D rendering engine for an FPS shooter. I'm talking about building simple apps like mathematical games, quiz applications, horoscope calculators, etc.
