I am considering going back to school and I am interested in the Visual C# program at Penn Foster. Take in mind I have 0 programming experience.
The program consists of http://www.pennfoster.edu/visualc/index.html and it is a diploma program and not a certificate program. So how hard is it gonna be and what exactly am I getting into? any preresiquites?

possibly using http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/c...00F3:0000289F: with Sabayon 5.2
