i would like to learn how to make an actual computer program that will run tin its own window and everything but i'm not quite sure where to start anyone wanna help me

imnotbob · 2012-03-11 22:15:00

Start with an idea

Hmmm...you want to learn a programming language.

I would start with Hackety Hack, a simple programming language that helps beginners.

Well, you could use scratch.

Scratch (there are several of them), BYOB, Panther (Windows only), Chirp (I think there's one, and it's windows only), and Slash (Haven't tried it yet) all have compilers.

When I say _____ only, I don't mean the mod only runs on that OS, but the compiler only compiles to programs that run on that OS.

I'm not an expert on programming languages, so I can't really provide any other suggestions.

I left the post window open for awhile, so I might have been ninja'd.
Edit: Other people had posted before me, but none of them suggested scratch, so I wasn't ninja'd. Anyway, back on topic.

Are you on Windows?

EDIT: You can use ToJar to convert scratch projects into clean java apps that run in nice windows smile

As stevetheipad said, I would start with Hackety Hack. It's really great to start programming with. big_smile

Looks like Hackity Hack is a form of ruby.

trinary · 2012-03-11 23:54:22

Visual Basic Express is good for beginners.
You can create your own applications with it.

ive learned hackety hack but im looking to learn java have been for a while could some one give me a link to a compiler that doesn't include personal info like oricle does

slinger · 2012-03-12 03:53:40

Erm, what, oracle doesn't give out personal information and if you want to learn java, you have to download it from oracle. And greenfoot is good for beginners in java.

slayerrobe7 · 2012-03-12 12:08:51

I didn't need to give any info to download java, but I may have an old version of the JDK tongue
