I highly recommend open source software for anyone who is even thinking about programming. Get a copy of Linux or one of the BSDs. You can pick any little piece of the OS (like the clock in your tool bar), pull up the code, and see how it all works.Start with a multi-platform language. Python is excellent for beginners, doesn't teach too many bad habits.

Personally I believe that just going to be a programmer is rather useless, You are easily Out sourceable. Now on the other hand if you say posses a degree in Computer science you can program but are not limited to that. My father has Is a Software developer with a degree in computer science. DONT BE JUST A DEVELOPER - BE A COMPUTER SCIENTIST BE WE ROCK SHIT
