Shell Programming and Scripting

I know most of you guys are unix expert, but I am very new to this stuff. I am basically trying to figure out where I can go online besides this forum to learn how to write simple programs. To start, I would like to write a small program asking 2 users to choose 3 numbers, to add them and print out the result.
It should be simple, but like I said I am new to this.


Thanks in advance geeks!!!
