Not just coding, but writing whole new type of code? History on coding be nice as well. I already own Hackers:Heroes of the Computer Revolution. But like other books on it as well.

There is only one book you need, and that is The Good Book:

Would be better to learn it through a book, or any good places to learn for free?

I've found that learning programming from books to be more reliable, especially with how much slop there is on the modern web. I find that books (which don't necessarily need to come in the form of a physical book — there are some great ones that are fully online). A crucial aspect though, regardless of what resource you use, is that you need to do the exercises as you go. This is something that I wish that I had understood earlier; I wasted a lot of time trying to treat this learning as something that you can do purely from reading, whether that be books or resources on the web.
