I don't naturally think like a programmer, but through a great deal of exposure to programming logic and perseverance , it eventually just clicked. To get started with an OOP language, I would recommend Processing( http://www.processing.org/) and the manual written by the two creators (http://www.amazon.com/Processin... It's entirely open source, and really easy to get started. The language is Java based, and is intended make programming accessible to designers/artists. Java is similar to many other OOP languages. The book is an absolutely amazing introduction to the basics of OOP programming, and expands into more complex topics such as: phsyics, particle systems, physical computing, cellular automata, etc.
There is also a similar IDE to processing that uses python called NodeBox( http://nodebox.net/code/index.ph… ), but Processing has a much larger audience and is probably more translatable to other languages.In terms of the logic of programming
this book is amazing, but might be overkill for a beginner:
