I'm a computer programmer analyst. Have been for many years. It depends on what type of computer programming you want to do. Web? Desktop Applications? Mobile applications?

I love my Kindle but don't like to use it for programming books because with programming books I tend to flip back and forth between pages.

One place to start is to look for very basic books about C# (pronounced C Sharp, may also be listed as Visual C#) or VB (Visual Basic). These are two languages used in conjunction with web programming and desktop applications. You can find information and tutorials online for these languages. One set of very basic programming books are called "build a program NOW". They are inexpensive (less than $20 new) and easy to follow.

Also, look for used computer programming paper books on Amazon and half.com. Just make sure they are recent editions.
