You have to pick a language first...and then maybe take a class or maybe get a book.

If you want something easy to start with, try Visual Basic .Net. It's gonna run you about 130 bucks for the program, but you get a visual designer, instead of coding the interface, plus it color codes and organizes all of your code for you.

I took the class at my schoo last year, and having no experience in actual computer program programming (instead of websites, PHP, etc), I aced the class.

I think .c is C and .cpp is C++

I end up with .c, .cpp, .bak, .csm, .obj etc

.c? hmmm at school we use .cpp ...oh well it's the same thing isn't it?

the C language has to be compiled into a .exe it's not like JavaScript or PHP etc where you just write code and it works.

.c is probably the most common file extension, which get turned into a .exe at runtime (when compiled)

You write them as file.c and then when you compile it with cc or gcc (Linux) and name it then
Or so that's how it works for me

thanks! but i'm not even sure how to start...what do i name the different files? i'm pretty sure one has to be .exe
