Answer:
Microsoft offer the XNA platform that allows you to target PCs, Xbox and various mobile platforms. You can download a free development environment, Visual Studio Express, and XNA from Microsofts web site. You should also look at learning C#, which is very like Java but with some of the warts shaved off. Writing Java or C# is about four times as fast as C++.

First of all, dont expect to enter the industry too heavily. I started with a program called scratch, maybe 3 years ago. Here is a list of some of the games I have uploaded to the website. http://scratch.mit.edu/users/mikeman27294 I then moved on to flash coding, and now I am making First Person Shooters, which shows you how you can start small, and get higher up really fast.
just learn about basic programming skills, along with problem solving skills. you must think like a computer lol. Then think of a game you want to create and take your time and program. I suggest thinking it out/ writing it down then programming
