Hi guys/gals
I used to be a graphic designer now i have started learning programming a few days back,i have started with JS.
My problem is can’t understand the logic in programming,it’s like i am totally blank.
I understand the key words,strings and blah blah but var logic = 000.
what can u guys suggest i do ? 
I have downloaded tons of books and tuts,most are useless and now i have come to Kirupa and codeschool.
Thanks ur help would be deeply appreciated 
I think the problem with your question is the most common answer is “get books, read tuts.”
It’s hard to think back to a time when I was a complete noob, but there was such a time. I actually started in art and fell back to programming as the result of certain circumstances. At that time - a much simpler time - discovery was a huge part of learning. I would constantly be viewing the source of web sites to see how they were made and how certain effects were achieved. Granted, again, things were much simpler then, so I’m not sure such a technique would work well today, but the basis for my learning then was seeing what other people were doing and how.
This is where books and tuts become useful because they will break down the how from the what in a simplified manner explaining things in a clear, understandable way. The trick here, for you, or anyone really, is finding the right book or tut that matches your level. And that can be difficult because many assume a certain level of understanding thats not always clear. So you should probably do more searching than reading. Searching for the very beginner stuff that starts at the bottom. You probably good sticking with JS because its a pretty high level language thats easy to pick up as a first. But logic is a very big part of programming, so you’ll need to get your head wrapped around it. If-thens, looping, variable usage, and the many more, more complicated patterns you eventually run into. Don’t be too scared at first. Everything comes with time, and I doubt you’ll ever stop learning as long as you’re doing it.
I can’t tell if you have or not, but I’m assuming you at least know about Kirupa’s Javascript 101 book?
Despite knowing JS, I have read the book in its entirety, and have enjoyed it, so I’m going to recommend it. But also, knowing JS, it’s hard for me to judge if it really works for someone who just starting out. Then again, it seems to be the purpose of the book so it sounds like a sure bet. The good news is, on Amazon you can get a preview of it and see if it works for you before you get it.
Also, I should say that forums were also a huge part of my learning process. I learned from what other people asked and learned by forcing myself to answer the questions that have not yet been answered. Additionally, as a beginner, you’d be much more likely to ask questions that are easy to answer, and questions that are easily answered are more likely to be answered 
So feel free to ask any question you have here on the Kirupa forums. There’s a few regulars here that should be able to happily help.
If you’re not into reading books there’s plenty of online resources some are free like www.codecademy.com, www.treehouse.com, www.codeschool.com and www.pluralsight.com and many more there’s resources everywhere.
Good luck.
