I want to try coding but I don’t have the smallest idea of how to do it. I’ve seen many tutorials claiming they’re for beginners but I don’t have the slightest clue what they are saying. Can someone give me a link to a complete coding tutorial that gives definitions of all the vocabulary and tells me what I need?

Since you don’t list what computer language you want a tutorial for, I will assume C++. I find the tutorial at cplusplus.com to be the best. The link is http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
If you’re really new, try the most simple of languages: HTML
This link will give you a small taste of what programming looks like:

On the left side of the screen, look at the code then click the Show Page button. The right side of the screen will show you what the code actually does. If you’re still interested, take some time to learn about the syntax of the code and then go from there. Good luck!
Well, that actually depends on what you plan on doing with what you learn. If, for example, you want to be a web designer, I would suggest learning HTML first. The basics are really simple, and once you’ve nailed down the basics you can move on the the advanced stuff. If you want to be a video game developer, take my advice— NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE MAY SAY, DO NOT GO FOR C/C++! I tried that and I found myself caught in a world of jargon. Here’s my advice- Start of with Visual Basic, Microsoft’s trademark language. It’s really simple to learn, and you can easily start object oriented programming, which is a must these days. If you want to design those cool windows you see on web pages that do stuff like let you play flash games and stuff, learn Java, which os slightly harder but still enjoyable.
Overall: Start With VB(Visual Basic) work your way up on the difficulty level. Tutorials/download links listed below.

Download Java SDK: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp (I reccomend Netbeans; it’s good for programming in other languages too)
