Qbasic Tutorial - Mainly aimed at beginners. No advanced stuff yet.
ASM Tutorial. - Also, beginner level
Bit Manipulation - Advanced level - How to manipulate individual bits for more percision and control.

QBasic/ASM Programming

We (DoORKnob Soft) generally program in BASIC using QuickBasic 4.5. We use BASIC for a number of reasons. Mainly because it's the language we started programming in.
We stick to it because it's a good language. It's easy enough that pretty much anyone, no matter how computer literate or illiterate, can use it; Mastering the language, however, is something else altogether.
Truthfully, things would be even easier programming in C (which I also know) because C/C++ are so much more flexible, but BASIC is good enough that we don't give it up.

The major downside to BASIC is that it's generally not very fast, especially when it comes to graphics.
For this reason we've lately begun to use Assembly Language (ASM for short) to do the small but important tasks that BASIC performs poorly at.

If you'd like to learn either how to program - either in BASIC or ASM - i've written some tutorials on these subject(s).
Keep in mind I'm no expert at these languages, I've taken no classes on them, and I'm not a teacher. But, I do have a fair amount of experience with them, and in my opinion, am a fairly good programmer.
I find many tutorials around the internet to be quite esoteric, and not exactly clear. All too many people write tutorials without keeping in mind that thorough explanation is necessary. To understand something as a whole, you need to understand the parts that go into, and many tutorials fail in this respect.
For this reason, I wrote my tutorials in what I think is a thorough, easy-to-understand fashion.

So, what do you want to learn?
If you've never programmed before, I recommend reading the Qbasic Tutorial. ASM is probably the hardest language in the world to start with.
If you already have some experience - say, maybe you program in a language or 2, then you might want to try reading the ASM Tutorial. ASM is more challenging, but it's well worth it.

C & Others

C - this is probably the most widely used, most useful, most accepted, language. It's also seen as a "Professional" language, while BASIC is looked on as a "newbie" (or n00b, if you're the kind of dork who says stuff like that). I guess I could write about C if I wanted to, but I'd rather not, because I hardly use it, so information from me on the subject would be quite unreliable.
However, this tutorial (not written by me) is excellent: A Tour Of C programming
