You can probably find a number of tutorials on programming at Programmer's Heaven. Personally, I'd recommend a book as I've never been very impressed with the quality of most on-line tutorials (except on a few narrowly defined subjects).
The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Neil Postman
(The End of Education)

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge

Do you have a specific genre of programming in mind?

Pent, what do you want to do? What language do you have in mind? What platform are you planning to develop on (Windows, Linux, Mac, a website, a microcontroller, ...)? Or do you just want to learn some basics of programming and you are not interested in doing a project?

We can be more helpful if you give us some specifics other than just "learning how to code." Please give us more information.

However, I will agree with Technomancer on that most online tutorials are not great. You might want to invest some money for buying some programming books.... Of course, that depends on... what do you want to do?
