Learn to question everything. Use CodeAcademy, KhanAcademy, and w3schools.com. Don't listen to people who tell you something is a horrible idea. You're far to ignorant on programming to have your own opinion and accepting someone else's will just stunt your progress.

It's like learning to speak another language; you're talking to a child. You have to tell/teach it everything about it's life. Eventually it'll be able to live by it's self.

When you're ready for application programming, look for topics on c/c++ and other languages that people seem to love. Find out what your favorite game/website is built in and see if you can replicate it.
