Begginer to programming

For someone with good computer skills but no knowledge of programing what resouces (books, websites, courses ect) would you recomend as a good starting place to learn about programming and crypto currencies?

I started from http://hidskes.com/blog/2014/05/21/ethereum-dapp-development-for-web-developers/

and maybe cpp-ethereum ( Ubunte or IOS ) with http://www.etherscripter.com/0-5-1/

Have a look at: http://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/2e0j21/what_coding_languages_should_i_learn_in_order_to/cjux096

It's a good list, but personally I think that's completely overkill. If you assume you'll use a binary of any of the ethereum clients, then all you need to know is HTML, some javascript, and a bit of python (assuming you wanted to use serpent as the smart contract language).

Andreas' book about crypto is worth a skim too:

Just dive in @TomLondon. It's still very early days.. unchartered waters and wide open terrain.

@tomlondon, are you actually in London?

If so there is an Ethereum Hackathon taking place on the 6th of September - http://www.meetup.com/ethereum/events/188284042/?fromJoin=188284042

Get a laptop, stick the newest Ubuntu on it and come on down. I'm sure you will learn a lot
