I need help with programming. I'm 15 so don't throw something at that I have no idear about.
I know a little C++...I need to know-

-which program is the best (Dev-C++, Java, Visual Windows C++)
-which tutorials will help me the most with the above programm
-that someone will help
-and any other miscellanious info that HELPS

Tanks have a nice day! Very Happy

1) There are no all around best programming languages. You simply pick the tool that is best suits what you want to do.
2) Check your local bookstore or take a class.

If you are running Linux, try gcc for c++ compiler

If you go with c++ on windows, I'd say use code::blocks as the IDE with MinGW
Eclipse is good for java.

If you would like to learn a programming language, I would recommend Java. Java gives you feedback at compilation time re: what types of errors you may have made in your code, and also automatically stops memory leaks that come from faulty code.

Java tutorials: The one I'm using is from the Princeton introductory computer science course, which has all its course materials online:

MIT and probably other schools also have open courseware. The Princeton course gives you a good introduction to basic algorithms and the basic features of Java, but it is not an easy course for people who are new to programming and computer science. I don't know what you want to learn about programming languages and good luck!

Python - easy to learn, run-time debugging, NO BRACES
I first learnt to program in VB, but Pythons probably easier.
If ur sure about C++, Dev-Cpp.

If you know a bit of c++, i would suggest stop, take a left turn and start java. With java, you will be able to appreciate concepts of object orientation in a much better way than c++. Also, with java, there is a sense of security and openness involved which lets you write machine independent codes, hich need not be compiled everywhere. Thus you can focus on the actual learning procedure and let java do the rest. After that you can also move to swing, then swt, then jSP, JINI ...java is never ending. If you are interested in embedded systems, you can go for J2ME...So java is surely THE choice.
