OK, in my computer class we learned a little C programming (and by little i mean little) and I thought that I may want to work with programming as a possible career. I'm looking to learn C++, but I have a Mac, and I have absolutely no idea what I am doing. Do you have to install the language itself? Where can I find a good compiler? I've tried to do my research, but I don't understand most of what people are talking about (they start going on about Xcode and I get completely lost). Can someone please explain to someone who has basically never programmed before how to be able to write and compile C++ so I can learn? I was told that C++ is the best to learn first and everything else would come easier (or else I could've started with Java - my text editor, TextMate [which I use for all my XHTML and XML projects] won't compile C++).
I guess I do have a little programming knowledge since I learned a decent amount of XML, but its not even close to C++.
Thanks.
