If you like, C++ and Java is where I personally started. Use Eclipse (a free java coding program) and a program called Karel J Robot from my AP Computer Science at Ganttech.com

 

C++ can be utilized with Notepad C++

# You could start easy with something like Python, or a bit deeper with Java or C++ (like Bluejay said). If you want to go really, really basic (I do not recommend this, by the way), you could try out Visual Basic.

# YouTube is a great resource!

# Youtube, or maybe Lynda (http://www.lynda.com/), I believe they do some free videos.

# You're getting yourself in to one of the most rewarding hobbies ever, if you manage to stick through 'til "the end"

# I started because I wanted to create things, the rewarding feeling of having created something someone else use is awesome.

 

Good luck!

Cheers,

Linus

Well, that would be quite a lot easier to get started with, but it's a lot simpler and much more limited. But if you want to make websites, that's the way to go.

Just keep in mind that learning HTML won't help you with programming, as they are far from the same thing.

Simple games?

C++ with the SFML library or java with Slick2D are both great 2D libraries (SFML will also do 3D too when paired with openGL but thats a lot more complicated)
