Right? I haven't even heard of a bunch of the things on that list
Comment on: Can anyone recommend a book?
Hell yea, Head First taught me Java and got me and whoever else I could get to borrow the book interested in programming.

Idk what your programming level is, but if you're really new then check out Head First C#

for (int i=0; i < 56; i++); //wtf why do something 56 times?
VS. something like:
maxAmtOfPeople = 56;
for (int i=0; i < maxAmtOfPeople; i++); // oh the clarity
