Studying Programming Book

This has to be the best book I have ever read on beginning programming. It actually teaches you as if you have never done programming before, what a new concept for a beginning programming book right? Every other beginners book I have read seemed to think that people just learning, where born writing If Then statement, counting in binary and turning their shopping lists into arrays.

I hate to break it to authors, but the average beginner doesn't even know what I just said. (This are just programming techniques and word, that you really don't need to know about unless you are learning programming, for all those unfortunate people like myself who where not born with this knowledge).

So if you want to learn programming, and didn't grow up fixing bugs on Windows yourself, this is the book to read.
