Getting started in programming

[Nolce]

I need some help and advice on getting started in programming. Such as recommended compilers and things like that. I had recently installed the Digital Mars compiler but it is to confusing to use.

Can you create the standard hello world program? If not, then the compiler suite won't matter. Even though it is WAY OUT of favor, I think a strongly typed language like Pascal is a great teaching tool. Java is a strongly typed language that is popular. There are lots of tutorials and examples available. Maybe that is where you should start rather than C/C++.
