Learning how to structure a program

Hallo!
One of the most difficult tasks for a newcomer is to be able to see what he wantss to program as a set of functions related to the task steps he has in mind.
One is led to believe that this is the role of an IDE but it is rarely the case.
What are the best ways to go about getting an insight?
Are there simple program function lists related to tasks so that a user can begin to get a feel?
Or is there good material or books available addressing this topic?
I would surely like to get a better grasp on moving down the road.
FNXBasic makes a very good impression.
Then when one sees a program like the sample supplied called "sort", one is certain that the language is good.
Please let me have any good sugestions that you can make.
Regards, forkinpm.

There is now so much on the internet i would not know where to begin.
But i see you are already learning, an IDE is just an environment to make things easier you still have to do the programming yourself.
For myself i`m looking at a few languages and there are thousands...
But the first thing could be look at the examples and try to understand.
All languages have plus and minus there is no perfect one (my opinion, others will disagrees :)), some will be better in this and something is easier else.
But if you know one it is easier to start with another one because you already know some concepts of programming.
I`m trying with fnxbasic, autohotkey and gui4cli, all have something what i like and don`t like but they are all for there purpose nice languages.
With these languages (and Delphi but that is not free and lazarus i find to big) i can try to help you.
But don`t start to difficult, try the easy things like "hello world" first :)
