If you ever want to make a video game, you're going to need some trig.

For me, as a visual learner, the best way to learn programming was through video games because there's so much instant payoff. There are thousands of thorough tutorials on game programming for flash or unity, and they teach you the basics pretty fast. My Advice is to get unity (free) and see if you can get a box to move when you click the mouse button. Anybody with any minimal level if tenacity ought to be able to figure out how to do that with only free online resources in a weekend. Then you move on to creating and destroying boxes depending on where you click and let your enthusiasm drive you. Once you can look at code without it looking like Sanskrit, you can leverage that knowledge to accelerate your path towards whatever sub-discipline or career path you like.
