I got some questions and i'm hoping you can answer them.

1. What is the most dynamic programming language in America I guess, what most jobs use.

2. What are the BEST websites to learn the languages or this speific lanaguage(java/C++)?

3. What is the easiest way to learn this/these language?

1) VB, C++, Java, C#, Perl, Bash, XML, C, and possibly with the US military Ada.

2) Yes

3) To program in them...start with hello world and work your way up

You've been told by many successful and experienced people that the language itself is irrelevant.

You need to learn how to programme properly. Then you can translate that skill (for the most part) to pretty much any language.

Can't you understand that asking what language is the 'in thing' now is reasonably irrelevant?

You're looking for the quick fix, whereas the wise people are telling you that, if you take a little longer now to learn the profession of programming (instead of the skill of a language) your longer term prospects are assured.

If you can't understand or get what these people have been recommending to you, then I wish you well in your future life of continually reviewing the Chattanooga Chamber of Commerce job site.

For just a minute there was a hope you had slightly more foresight than an average 18 year old.

I know, most of my questions are way too similar to the ones I have already ask. Just I am having a hard problem understanding I guess C++. Like I know what cin, cout, main void(), etc.. the basic from hello world. I don't know where to go from their. I also want to start now as I know I will probably end up going towards a CS Degree and the teachers would help me a lot.I just want to know what programming is about and all and get ahead maybe in the class.

I really don't know what to tell you other than:

Buy O'reilly and Dummy books on programming.

Play around with programming...make a simple game...make a silly app that converts currency...who know...just do something.

It is going to take you a while to learn the programing languge because it is changing all the time, while you are learning, more and more new pieces of code are being added, so my best bet to you is to stay focused on what you need to do today and learn how to do it. Tomorrow you can learn the up to date version.
