Programming book suggestions?

I want to write a program where the user inputs simple data and gets a graph back. I have basically no experience at programming but it seems relatively simple. Suggestions on a book that would help?
 
depending on the type of graph if its a bar graph the easiest way to do this would be to write a web application that just streches a single pixel gif . If you want to do a pie graph or a line graph that gets a bit tricker. but like cpals said you first need to pick a language...if you are going to use a web interface I would suggest php...the gd library is pretty nice and I have done stuff like this before in it.
