perhaps there are a few things you should learn first that are programming
related but not specific to one language or another. do you know what ASCII is?
do you understand iteration as in looping? ( while, for, etc ) what about
conditional statements? ( if, else, then )
if you do not know those things i mentioned are, then you should learn them by
reading very beginner stuff from a book or article aimed at begginer
programmers ( NOT SPECIFIC LANGUAGE BASED ) that dont have this kind of
knowledge yet.
i would suggest a book or two for you but its been a while since ive been down
to the local book store and its also been a while since i was reading those
books myself.
