I'm looking into building programs and i was wanting to know if there is any good free programming software. I really need something thats not hard to use like visual studio. Because right now i just want to build a simple programs |
My recommendation is to choose choice 1 and learn something like Java. |

Yes I would agree that Java is a free language to program on as you can do it across platforms.(Meaning different operating systems you can run it on so long as you have java installed on that operating system) |
|
There is no shortcut to success. Do what the others tell you and learn up some VB, C++ and so on. |

Visual Studio actually isn't that hard to use. You've got tons of options that you will most likely never use. The only thing you have to focus on is the play button in the top bar to start your application (or press F5) and the solution explorer on the right which holds all you files. I would recommend learning a programming language like C#, its just as easy as Java but gives you more power. Plus combining C# with XNA is a great way to also write games without learning a different language. |

If you want to learn C# and a few others from Microsoft. They have Visual Studio Express 2010 you can download for free as well and go through the tutorials from there here is the link from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/express You can also download the ISO that has all of them included. Either way you can go through Netbeans, Eclipse like a couple of us has mentioned here. THere are always new ways to learn programming languages. |
