Hi guys, I would like to learn programming to create Ren'Py games. I have a informatic background, but I have no experience in programming.
Could you recommend me some readings or videos to learn gradually?

GameDeveloperTraining has a couple of great playlists for beginners on how to code in Renpy, so I'd recommend them.
 
on youtube are many good videos about renpy but the best way is to start creating a game than you see the problems than you search how to solve them and than you learn very fast how to cretae game. learining by doing
 
Buy a high school book on programming, doesn't matter the language but python would be obviously be the best. Starting from the fundamentals on how to program is important since I saw few people don't get them and not be able to solve very simple problems.
 
An understanding of python at a basic level is going to be very useful, although the majority of a Ren'Py program just reads as a script.
There are 1001 sources for python teaching out there and if you don't get along with one you should find something else.
The one thing I'd like game authors to do more of is testing, the number of times I've seen a game break becuse of a typo or a variable being used before it's declared is too damn high.
