Good books on programming for a beginner

[iplaytennis]

Hi,
I was wondering if you guys could recommend me some good books to read on computer programming. I'm a beginner (i only know some html, javascript and I'm starting to learn vb.net and c#) and I don't know much and I was looking for good books with accurate information that could help me get some of the basic fundamentals of programming, not necessarily just about how to write in those languages but computer programming concepts, ideas, etc . I was thinking about maybe buying this one to start off?

If you're looking for a book on VC#, then I can suggest this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Beginning-Microsoft-Visual-2008-Guides/dp/047019135X/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257153407&sr=8-2

I haven't read everything in it...I mainly left out everything that has to do with web programming. But I think it's a good book.

The book you are looking at looks good to get some fundamentals down, but I wouldn't expect to be able to program very well in C++ after having read it since there is so much to this language you can learn / have to know.
A good book on C++ in my opinion is: http://www.amazon.co.uk/C-Primer-Plus-Sams/dp/0672326973/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1257153544&sr=1-1

But if you really just want to get an idea of what computer programming is like, then the book you are thinking of would be pretty good for a start. I can't really comment on these types of books as I only have books for certain languages and math/physics/game related programming topics.
