Want to learn programming

hey prog

I am thinking about a software bachelor next year, but want to learn some fundamental programming before I start.
What made you start programming? Where or how did you learn to do so?

I know the internet is packed with great tutorials, but I am no good at following them. It doesn't make much sense for me to just read and learn about syntax, I rather want to learn through a real project, something like Udacity do.
Do you know anything like this that's good?

I have a few ideas in mind, but I don't really know where to start. What was your first project and how long you used on it (including learning the language)?
Thinking about some python/bash to make simple scripts myself.

If you are the author of some of the superior posts, thank you. If you are one of the monkey trying to impersonate this guy (I believe he is the only one left), that's just pathetic. I could show you that every newcomer does this.
Either way, I won't sage anything. I have nothing to share with the brilliant Anonymous and he can safely ignore me. Monkeys trying to fit in are just ridiculous.
