If you really want to learn programming.

1. Buy SICP and put it on your book shelf.

2. Don't read it, instead read random StackOverflow posts talking about the content.

3. Spend the next 10-50 years trying to understand what people are talking about on various related forums.

4. Add more legendary books to your shelf over these 10 years, like The Art of Computer Programming. Fawn over their greatness. DON'T READ THEM.

5. Go on long walks, take spirit journeys to harsh natural locations, put your life in danger while you meditate on the concepts.

6. Blog profusely about your experiences.

7. Optional: actually write code.
