I am taking a Programming Class next year and i want to get ahead of the game because this is what i hope to be doing once im in college. But i have NO idea how to program or anything so if you could reccommend the best places to download C++, C, and others that are good for a prgrammer to know, as well as books or online sources. Also, if you recommend a website please tell me how to access the program because last time they recommended what i think was a good website but i couldnt even figure out how to download the software! lol so please can you help me out and get me on the track to learning how to program. Also, if theres an online source that can walk you through and teach you how to program that would be great! THANKS!!!

Answer:
Don't use Python, you will spend all that time learning how to program with a language that I can't say isn't used a lot... but isn't applied to real world programs. I would suggest you start with Visual Basic tutorials (there is a free compiler called Visual Studio Express 2010 for all languages) because recently they came up with an advancement in it so it is is really applicable and you can code decent programs with it. It is a good starting language and will be what your class will probably be on for the most part. Anyways, good luck. Search around! I IF you want to start with C++, remember this: *If your looking for a good reference point I would get the book C++ Primer Plus (edition 5) *C++ is a more advanced language (ya your all that so you want to start with an advanced language, you can if you want but you will not understand all of the syntax and by the time your done with Visual Basic, C++ should be easier and you will now know 2 languages and a free A+ in class, no programming class in high school teaches C++ unless its AP and even then its Java) FOR MORE QUESTIONS, VISIT GAMEKILLER.NET AND VISIT THEIR PROGRAMMING SECTION! It is a hacking website, but they are very knowledgable when it comes to this stuff.

If you want free lessons, YouTube has some people who are dedicated to teaching C++, C, Java, or any other languages you can learn. For C++, go to YouTube and search for this guy: thenewboston He has good videos. He also has a video telling you how to install the C++ compiler program you need to make C++ programs.
Go to google.com and type in Visual Basic Express. Download it (from a reputable site) and start with that. It's a very basic programming language and has a built in tut. :)
I only know a good programming website www.python.org Hope it helps!
