I was just wondering which program is the best and also has good help files etc... Thx alot... PS... I have seen a program called Netbean... is that anygood cause its free

The first question you need to answer is..what programming language do you want to program in?

[Desolater]

well i was reasonably comfortable with VB and I also learnt to do a little programing in Flash as well... so If there are anyprograms close to that that would be great... But truthfully I am not really sure... I just want to be able to write programs... I can learn the language if i need to...

I have deicded to go with a C or C++ programing language... But now I need to know how to get started.. I have found a good website on programming and stuff and all I need is the right tools... Can anybody help me please???

Hi Desolator,

Try this link, and see if it is what you want....

It has an editor, compiler, user manual, tutorial and lots of other goodies that are available and FREE for you to use IF you do not sell software. I'm guessing it'd be a good place to start, and it's from a Virginia university I believe so probably well put together too.

I might try it myself and I'd be interested to hear some other opinions on it - if there are any.

Thanks a lot I am gonna download it and give it A try...

Hey Desolator,

I downloaded it last night and at first glance it looks fairly complete and easy to use. Let me know what you think, after you've used it a bit. Then, I'll know whether to recommend it in the future, or not.

i recommend c#. its a perfect language, the only language to be perfectly object oriented. [java really isnt]. its not that difficult to learn if youre not gonna learn oop, and it is multi-platform compatible, among other things. but it isnt cheap.

Tagalong i downloaded it and I couldnt even find the bloody install file lol...
But thats ok cause in my travels across the web I found Milkshape 3D and started using that... Thats a sic program.. PS its not for programing incase u werent sure... I have a very short attention span and since that programming thing didnt work i mooved along... Thanks for your help... I am gonna try it on my other computer that isnt connected to the net so dusnt have all the spyware and vrius crap... I'll get back to you guys latter...
prolly in a couple a days...
