Intro to Programming for Poker Bot Creation

[lax1113]

Hello guys,
I am someone who is interested in learning how to do a little bit of programming. Not anything big, but one thing that i was looking into that i think would be fun is trying to make a "poker bot." I don't need to know how to hide that I'm using one (for those of you that play online poker and know its not supposed to be used,) because i don't play for real money, play money only (only 17...). I have always been wondering how hard/how it works to program, and i also am a big fan of poker, so it seems like something that could be fun. Anyway, any websites that i could look at that would give me an intro on how to learn how to start some programming?

Thanks,

A good +free place to start would be http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/
Python is a very easy language tolearn and is useful for the sort of internet programming you were thinking of.
