As far as I know, there is no "beginners guide to computer programming", just as there's no "beginners guide to speaking". Programing, like speaking, requires a language. Carrying on with my analogy, each language works in a specific area. Objective-C works with the Cocoa "environment" to create Mac applications. HTML/CSS work to create the web and so on.
So, my question to you is: where would you like to program? Some examples would be: desktop applications (Mac or PC), web applications, web sites, etc. From there, I'm sure one of our "experts" can point you in the right direction
