A common feeling, I suppose.

Dear All,
My name is Fidelio, I am an italian cameraman based in Qatar.
I am glad to start to be part of such a great community.
First of, I am new in programming and don't really have a computer knowledge that goes beyond the basics.
I have chosen the Ruby topic cuz it's one of those languages that I ve heard its very useful recently.
My question has to do with the feeling of both excitement and loss in front of such freedom that programming gives you in the beginning.
I came across coding with a friend that told me to do the Hour of code, so I thought that it was a nice idea to understand better how something so daily as a computer works.

I'd like to know as well from you what are the best steps and the most useful things I can learn in the very beginning, the ones that helped you, and the ones that you think didn' t help you that much, of an adventure that I hope will last long.
Best.
