good to hear your trying to start getting programming.
be sure to check out exhume, since it may be what your looking for, but its sort of lacking in documentation so it may be rough for a while.
there are some starter languages out there (KPL
http://www.kidsprogramminglanguage.com/ ) which teach basic concepts about how a program works (program flow, maybe OOP) that you may find helpful. Of course, if your like me and tend to do things the admittedly hard way, you can just find a basic-like language and look at examples until it makes sense.
Not trying to be an advocate of Autoit 3 here, but I would recommend it for you to at least take a look at
http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/ it reaches a wide array of skill levels, Ive been scripting in it for probably 2 years now by just looking at examples (started out making bots for games) and now im able to create really useful and neat things fairly quickly, plus im still learning new and (more) advanced concepts. Here is a really great place to start if your interested in autoit
http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index ... autoit+123
If you decide autoit is not for you, there are
many simple languages out there that you could learn. just google basic, I cant name any off the top of my head.
also, heres a site that you may find helpful.
http://www.thefreecountry.com/ just check it out, you'll see.
wow, what a mess.
