coding/programing links

I know nothing virtually nothing about coding or programing like the rest of you guys but is there a link or 2 you could give me that shows my how to learn??? IF you could I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Well, what language are you interested in? GNU gcc is a library of several compilers (g++ for c++, gcj for javac, etc).

"Well, what language are you interested in? GNU gcc is a library of several compilers (g++ for c++, gcj for javac, etc). "

I am not quite sure, I think that c++ is the most common and therefore would probably be my best bet but I am open to suggestions. What language do you think is the best?

Thanks

OK, you can quote me as follows

"Linux is a better Unix than Unix",

"Knoppix is a better Linux than Linux"

and

"C++ is a better C than C",

"Java is a better C++ then C++"

So, do the math! As a result, I've switched over to Knoppix + Java for object oriented programming with data structures (the course I teach).

Why don't you try the following sample "hello world" programs in KNOPPIX and see which you like better, c++ or java.

//hello.cc editted with kate
using namespace std;
#include iostream //<> around iostream won't show in forum
int main()
{
.....cout << "Hello!" << endl;
.....return 0;
}

Compile C++ in shell
g++ -o hello hello.cc
Execute C++ in shell
./hello

//Hello.java editted with kate
public class Hello
{
.....public static void main(String[] args)
.....{
..........System.out.println("Hello!");
.....}
}

Translate Java in shell
javac Hello.java
Interpret Java in shell
java Hello

BTW, "....." means TAB (I can't tab in the forum).

Enjoy!

I don't want to start a flame war but I'd like to point out that not everyone agrees on that one. ;-)

I'm saying this only in the context of teaching and learning object orientation.

I found a good site to learn java on called http://www.javaforstudents.co.uk and I highly recomend it for newbies like myself. I found suns tutorials too confusing to navigate.

hope this can help someone like me.
