If you can handle it start with C++. in some regards it is a falacy to walk before one runs as C++ can allow you to walk and run whichever you choose immediately.



download a free c++ ide:

and then use the following tutorial:

Give the first couple of lessons a try, if you have difficulty, give Java a whirl, get a book, Java for Students:

Is a pretty good one.

Ok, I taught myself programming at about your age!



If you are into games programming, then learn 'C'. Its actually quite easy once you have the hang of it, and it teaches you the basic stuff, which is vital to learn but other languages will do for you through libaries.



Learn from the best. None other than (Sir!) John Carmack himself. Download the Doom or Quake source code. Look through it and start making some changes.

Check w3schools.com, or else contact a coding guru to help you learn coding, check websites like http://getafreelnacer.com/

You could start with Java. It's free, interpreted as opposed to compiled (so you don't have to buy a compiler) and there's lots of information online. Start at java.sun.com.

Most major languages and their associate tools are free.

C,C++,Java,LISP,Prolog,Python,Ruby,PHP,Assembler,Forth

Pascal,Eiffel, Smalltalk, APL I could go on but you are probably bored.



Try Logo and then move on to C\C++. Gotta walk before ya run.
