Want to learn Scripting Program!

Hi,
I want to learn a scripting program but I ma very confused & I wnat suggestion from you guys at this great forum.
It would be very nice if you guide me or direct me in a right direction. I would like to know if there is any website or books b=est for beginner like me who wants to start with programming.
I think I should start with C# can you tell me any website where i will be learning the basics?

Thanks for your help in advance!

could give you some pdf tutorial. ill email them all to you.

please dont distribute my email address. i dont mind if you keep it. and also on freebyte.com they have plenty of useful tutorial from beginning to expert.

I think the best way would be to make something yourself with the code. To get the basics of that language, read some tutorials with example projects and follow along. Once you've learned enough to write simple codes on your own, think of a little utility application that you can write using that language. Than start coding it. When you come to something you don't know, you can look it up online. All the debugging and problem-solving will make it easier to remember the language. Plus, it's much more fun than reading a whole book and doing nothing.

Javascript (technically, ECMAScript or Standard ECMA-262; also known as JScript). With the increasing availability of many fully featured server-side/command-line implementations, it is becoming a great general purpose scripting language.

Edit: I want to be clear, I don't think this is the best scripting language to learn, as there is no best scripting language to learn. This is just one I'd recommend people learn if they haven't, because it's so useful.
