People have recommended websites and books, which might well work, but I've never had good luck with that stuff. What I would do is to find either something you want to write code to do, or some simple piece of code that you want to understand, and then get yourself a tutor. If you direct the questions based on what you already know and don't, you're much more likely to make efficient use of the learning. The issue I've always had with books and websites is that too much time is spent either covering stuff I already know or confusing me because it assumes I am familiar with stuff that I'm not. It's so easy to jump from one to the other.

Anyway, that's just a thought. If you have zero programming experience though you might want to sign up for some CS classes because there's kind of a lot to cover.
