Starting Programming

I really have never programmed before in my life. I've done none of it, but I want to start. What should I use to learn? SICP? I understand SICP will probably be overly difficult but I'll just spend a lot of time with it. Or will it be impossible for me to understand?

Pick one and master it. Once you master a language, switching to another is a trivial matter. Right now you want to master the basic concepts of programming, not the intricacies of various languages. Python is one of the good choices for that, if you like what you see, stick with it.
