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?

C is definitely where it's at if you want to learn any useful programming. Then learn x86 assembly, and if you really want to fit in the corporate world, learn C++, because they love their polymorphisms. Everything else is just a stupid fucking bullshit toy language which is slow and inefficient.
