The best way to learn how to program is to write programs. When you get stuck, peel a book open and learn. Or browse through the ton of C/C++ code that's out on the Internet, or that's included in visual C++.



If you have a windows PC, get a copy of Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 or 6.0. Shouldn't cost more than $25. If linux, download gcc.
