How do you make .exe windows files? You can't edit them, so how are they made? Please suggest a site or tell me how this happens!!! :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

They are built with complied languages like C++ or Delphi. This basically means that a program called a complier reduces them to machine code wich is 1) why you can't edit them 2) why they don't need another program to be running them like PHP scripts do or HTML does.

An excellent community site for C, C++ and their many variants is Codeguru.com

Besides, the rules for C++ may be too relaxed for someone just learning programming. Some very messy code can be easily made from C++, especially since many people (and many tutorials) will randomly change to C code. (BTW, Visual C++ is a program, not a language. No sense telling them to spend a couple hundred dollars on software when they don't know what benefits, if any, it provides.)

If you're just learning about structured programming or object-oriented programming then Pascal and Java respectively are two good choices. This way you learn the fundamental ideas and techniques of programming before you have to start dealing with potentially tricky syntax.

I know pretty much nothing of pascal, but I do know one of the great things about Java is that is is cross platform. With C and C++ you have so much to fuss over in terms of the PC that you're going to run it on, but with Java, you can just get to it! :D
