What is the best way to learn how to program an Arduino?

I've taken online tutorials and all kinds of stuff to help me learn how to program the Arudino, but they haven't helped. If you have anything that will help me, PLEASE reply. Thank you!

    Hello Slayton Blood, The best way to learn how to program an Arduino is to try and program an Arduino. The first question is: do you have an Arduino to program? If so, which one? The second question is…

    As well as the tips from Scott and Dave, it may be worth stepping back from it and getting familiarised with some C coding basics on a computer running Linux (e.g. Raspberry Pi). C only has about 30 keywords…

    Kits like the Sparkfun Inventors Kit are expensive but a quick way to learn basics.  I have used them to complete a beginner level course in one weekend.  If you can’t afford the kit then try going through the published workbook with what you have at hand and order or substitute other parts as you get them.

     

    The best way though is to just try things. If you get stuck on something then ask a specific question that states what you are trying to do, what didn’t work, what you tried doing to resolve it, code used, parts used, and so on.  This will get better responses on the forum.

    I found the Oomlout Ardx tutorial helpful too, and it's not too expensive, especially if the parts are sourced separately.
