You need determination and commitment.
to get started you need a laptop and which area of programming are you concentrating on is it mobile phone, web application, or desktop application, or even operating systems and drivers. then you pick your programming language, get a good programming text book, devour it, get your self a (Programming) mentor as this will hasten your learning.
cheerio and welcome to the world of programming

Like the first reply said. you need to know where you interest is. If it is mobile applications, web applications and so on. then if you have decided that. you can start from bottom to top. in your chosen field . Good luck

You select any one programming language to learn it and find out step by step guide for that language, start as per that guide, you could improve your programming knowledge.
