Here are a list of sites that are helpful to begin learning programming and to look up information as you get more experienced.
www.codecademy.com #Not recommended by other users
This one has interactive tutorials to teach common scripting languages.
http://www.tutorialspoint.com/computer_programming_tutorials.htm
Tutorials Point has guides on most common languages and they cover SQL under the databases section.
http://stackoverflow.com/
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for programming. You can search through existing questions for your problem, and often somebody has already answered it. If you have a unique problem then you can ask a new question.
If you post any new sites below I can add them here and give you credit for sharing.

1.) Codecademy sucks. I won't recommend to any beginner.
2.) Tutorialpoint is quite good but it really lacks the essential theory behind the shit and doesn't tell how the things really work under the hood. It's good if you want to have a quick reference.

I don't have much experience with CA, but some people IRL have recommended it. I typically use TP in the same way. Stack Overflow is pretty good only it doesn't really teach anything. It is very helpful for resolving common errors.

Wait, you recommended resources you haven't used yourself?
-
I've used it for a few languages.
-
https://code.org/ i find this very helpful

Must we know a good amount of math to be good at coding? I did code Academy for a time but I got bored and slightly scared off when I found out I need math to be a programmer.

Could you elaborate as of why codeacademy 'sucks', i've used it before and i found it quite good.
-
https://code.org/ (https://code.org/) i find this very helpful
wtf? code.org? are you 5 years old o.0
-
I find https://www.cybrary.it/ extremely helpful.

For that i would say either google or searching these forums as its been discussed a lot in a number of places. But the gist is that it teaches bad practices etc so dont use it.

I find EvilZone.org an excellent resource. Whenever I post shitty hacked together scripts I get a response I don't understand and try to hack a different source until I get it to do what I want to do. Either that or ande will just get flustered with me and take my shitty script and bedazzle the shit out of it. Maybe if I spent half the time actually reading how to code instead of mashing snippits together trying to get them to work I might actually be able to make something nice lmfao

Where the hell are you coming from?

Great suggestion right here. Cybrary is a very rich resource for anyone trying to get ahead in any facet of computer security or coding. As far as the diss on code academy and the others, I disagree. Code Academy is a supplement to me. I don't think there is any substitute for the old (read code - write code) technique. Code Academy expects you to be doing work outside of it's modules.

www.learncpp.com/
It's specifically for c++ but it has been a useful tool for learning the language.

Yes its this very true my friend :D

waha just GOLD man! keep it up
https://www.google.com - this is like a fukin gift of the gods, learnin so much searchin so much so much stuff everywhere just everything you need omg
http://www.cplusplus.com - My all-time favorite. Tutorials = 10/10 | Glossary/References = 999/10 | Articles = mostly useful | Forum = like a cheap version of stackoverflow, but still helpful sometimes
https://msdn.microsoft.com - Although not 100% reliable, still the best source of information when it comes to winAPI, afaik. Fits the most basic needs when struggling with windows headers (like the usual "WTF was parameter #7451 of this ridiculous function expecting again?!")
hackforums dot net - Yeah nail me on the cross, but one or two, maybe three decent tuts or source codes can actually be found there. But make sure to ignore the rest of its content (99%) and to NEVER download or buy anything from this site
http://www.highscore.de - Only for our german fellas, this page could help me where others failed, sometimes. And the boost-c++ section is very worth mentioning, imho
https://leakforums.org - Provides some interesting source codes for research and improving your own skills
....
there are plenty of others I just don't remember right now. Maybe I'll update the list later on
EDIT:
http://aluigi.altervista.org/ - Legendary. Back in the days when I was skiddin around and felt leet by crashing quake servers with infoboom, this guy was a god to me- and he actually is HQ as fuck. His page provides tons of professionally written Proof-of-Concepts that cover a wide range of topics (not only online games) and each one is completely open source. This treasure chest is certainly worth a look!

No where from import. Just asking a question.
-
thx
-
Local library works for me.
-
I agree with CodeCademy, I've learnt Python, my first language, here and I found these tutorials very helpful to start with programming.
Being a good starting point, this will still not teach you enough to actually do interesting things,
what I did was just code and ask questions on StackOverflow, search what certain libraries can do etc.

thenewboston on youtube is pretty awesome for beginning.
