Anyone know any good coding programs?

I am teaching myself how to code. I am using QBasic, but I would also like to use a few other programs, and see which one is better...so, do any of you know any good, very good, coding programs...that are FREE to download?

Just BASIC is an excellent next step for you since you already know QBasic. It is free and you can create Windows programs with it. It also doesn't have the memory and graphics limitations of QBasic.

Reply:Eclipse is excellent.
Reply:java is easy to learn too. just go get netbean and doc java or bluej.
Reply:Eclipse is a very good free development environment. I use it for Java programming and PHP development. There are a ton of plug-ins out there and there are a bunch in development currently so you should be able to find plug ins to develop in a wide variety of languages
Reply:c++ is arguably the best language ( a bit difficult, too)


most compilers are expensive, but there are some free ones, like dev-c++ . There are also some excellent tutorials out there , all FREE





good luck!!
Reply:Start doing progarms in C language.All others are outdated.


-Languages before C don't have pointer concpets to access Memory directly


-Input and output statements will be faster.


-Variety of Loops available to deal with different situations.


-Dynamically decalring variables ,defining functions ,macros





Also when you start learning from C, you can easily understand languages like C++, java etc. which are purely based on C language.
