Woah Nelly, get a decent grasp on Javascript first

After that I'd recommend you move onto Python before taking the step up to Java, then on to C++. It's one heck of a step down in terms of hand-holding to go from Javascript to C++, I think you'd find the change quite a shock if you step over all the possible intermediate stages.

Makes sense... (I hate your first line though !!!

)...

But I think my grasp is OK though, I gues I'll be checkin out python while then but what compiler shall I use?...

Python is an interpreted language, not compiled. If you run a UNIX-based OS, chances are it's already installed; if not, you can get it from http://www.python.org/.

Yes, it is a fairly big step from JavaScript to C++. In fact, I recommend you learn Java first, the C, then C++. But do as the master says, learn Python first

Anyway I'm on the current site and I would like to know if I'm starting off at a good position -

http://docs.python.org/tut/node4.html

Actually I have decided that I hate python... The followin reasons are why -

1) Python is not good for creating interfaces as far as I know
2) And more...

I'm going to start off at Java...

edit//- Can't find a Java (windows) compiler... I would appreciate it if someone can help with this
