First, I strongly suggest that you use proper grammar if you want to be taken seriously. Most of us do this to learn and to spread information. If it's difficult to understand the question being asked, chances are people won't waste time on you (or your question).



1. Do you need to know math? To what level?

See the answer to this question (follow the link)

Generalize the answer: games programming is the example, but remove "games" and the criterion are exactly the same. Your criteria are determined by your goals.



Summary:

Whatever you want to do determines what you should choose. Languages are tools. You have a few omnipresent main goals, boiling down to keeping stuff simple, and the your requirements determine the choice.

Pick the language which lets you just do what you want ("whatever" doesn't cut it), while exceeding as far as possible the criterion for simplicity.



Essentially, pick the right tool. The right tool depends on the job. Note, becoming a well-rounded, proficient engineer is a job as well. You just need to let us know what the job is, so we can make suggestions for you, if you feel incapable of choosing for yourself. You probably should; you have no experience.



3. What tools should I use?

I have a link, but can't find it, so you get a longer explanation.



This depends on your goals (and language), again. I strongly suggest that you choose a language first; Eclipse, for instance, won't work as well for assembly code (if at all) as it will for Java, at which it is phenomenal.



I ended up using a classic Unix editor, Emacs, and the rest of the classic (now GNU) toolchain. It is still good, and cross-platform.



I have used a lot of stuff, including the 13000 USD top-tier editions of Microsoft Visual Studio. I think, honestly, that the choice is personal. After a long break, I still like a plain-text editor more.



I never need to switch tools (I've yet to encounter a sane language with no support), and have configured most of the benefits of an IDE with some languages.



I am also more productive with emacs than I am with any IDE I've used; but don't think you will be without some practice.



Do not use Notepad unless you are a masochistic idiot. At least you'll be Windows-specific.



There are two sides to the IDE/Editor debate. Note also this halfway-true picture:

>> 1. is it hard math do i need alot of math for it i hate math



The math in most computer programs is simple. The reason computer scientists take so much math in school is because learning math is a way to train your brain not because programming will ever require calculus. The math shouldn't stop you.



>> 2. what type of language is best to start of with not asking easy language but a coding language that i >> can use to creat many softwares or apps or what ever



Java Script is useful and easy to learn and powerful...

Java is also useful and easy to learn but a little more complex I think than Java script..

C and C++ aren't all that difficult but they will require you to make an investment in a compiler which is expensive.



>> 3. what is the best thing to start with eclips, notepad c++ normal notpade??



notepad++ is a fair editor.. eclipse is a little harder to use but more powerful once you do.. emacs would be a good one to know.. it will be the hardest to use but if you master it you won't ever use anything else..

vi is popular but I think ultimately emacs is more powerful and popular now..



choosing a good editor and eally learning it will be one of the smartest things you can do. you don't need to do it day one.. but you will want to eventually settle on one and master it.

You not need to be Newton or Einstein in maths but an average knowledge is necessary for the programming as it is a game of algos, logics, etc. The best language to start the programming is the C language. It is the mother of all language. After learning it ou can learn any other language easily and hence can easily make applications in programming languages like C, C++, Java, etc.

It is basically giving instructions to a machine that does exactly what you tell it to do. There is a lot of work that goes on prior to the final product. It usually requires sustained concentration over periods of time that can last months depending on what you are trying to accomplish. You are trying to supply the most efficient and accurate instructions to a machine. It doesn't necessarily require a formal education in math but I would say that you at least need the aptitude to enjoy it enough to plug away long enough to write a program. I personally think it's a creative endeavor but I do like math.

1. You will need a good degree of math to become a successful programmer.

2. Java or C++

3. Eclipse if you learn Java, NetBeans if you learn C++. Notepad++ is mainly for web development, not compiling programs, and you should never use normal notepad for real programming, although it can be useful for jotting stuff down.

1. It's good to know some math because it helps with the logical side of coding.



2. vbscript, css, javascrpt, and c# in that order



3. I use Textmate, but I have a Mac.

learn c language use standard book such as "Let us C".

do not use framework such as eclipse..coz it will easy your work...and you will not be able to learn all the conceps
