Hi Michael,
I love the way you're approaching it. One problem I find all over the place
is that people want to dive into creating Microsoft word, Shades of Doom or
thereabouts. Start simple.
If you're using C++, write some program like this:
#include <iostream>
Using namespace std;
Int main()
{
Cout <<"Hello there! This is my first program!";
Return 0;
}
Bingo! You've got something functional and that gives you the basic C++
program. The same holds true to other languages; try printing text before
anything else, I often find that it is the best way to begin programming.
Best Regards,
Hayden

Programming is like owning an Erector set. You have a whole
bunch of parts that do little things. Take a motor, a wheel, a dipper
and bolts. Using bolts, connect the dipper and the wheel together, then
bolt the wheel to the motor. Put it in a river and have the dippers
spill into a tank, and you have a water wheel. Programming is the same
thing, only with commands, telling the computer what to do. Know what
all the parts do, and you will begin to see what *CAN* be done.

As long as you continue telling yourself that, the longer you
cripple yourself
