At codecademy you can learn Javascript which is a scripting language with similar syntax to java and it doesn't require anything more than the browser. It's an object oriented language and it's nice to start learning programming with. I actually started with some Pascal, but it doesn't really matter. It will give you a grasp of all the concepts: variables, types, functions, loops, conditionals, objects, classes, inheritance etc.
Codecademy also have tutorials for Python, which is another good "starting to program with" language.
Then you need to get some books(there are plenty free books) or at least seek answers on stackoverflow.com to help you understand the concepts in more depth. After that ... play with it a lot. With Javascript alongside HTML and CSS you can become a front-end web developer. You would also need to learn XML, AJAX, JSON and maybe Bootstrap and Angular JS, but the point is if you get a good grasp of javascript, the rest are really easy.
Youtube is the best for those who want to learn for free. Just search the topic you want.
Personally I like Codeacademy. They let you see what your program does right away with errors if there are any.
https://www.coursera.org/ has a few courses regarding programming, They're a free online college style site.
Everywhere. The library, the internet.
You just need to make a slight effort and search.
There are free tutoriols all over youtube and free apps for phones.
Youtube.com is best choice, You make see lynda.com
Where can I learn programming? For free?
