One of that questions I had to ask while learning it is, what do you to DO with the code, and from there you begin focusing on that. Don't just pick up a book or go to a website and start reading because I guarantee the only thing you will grasp from that is what a variable is. The best way to learn is hands on trial and error. And don't worry about the math, the computer does that for you, over time it will just become the rhythm of the code, you won't really have to think about it as hard, only what number goes where.
I had the exact same advice given to me by a good mate of mine (who runs a startup now in SF), and it was to work out what to do, then go with the coding language/platform that matches. Like probably a thousand people at any given time, I have an app idea that would work for Apple/iOS and Android, and have been hunting an older Mac Mini to start learning the Apple SDK/programming.
