Try using C, its easier than C++ and useful for small programs you dont want to learn c++ for. A great compiler is available free at

And to learn c, you can try googling it or uhmm, yahooing it lol.
theres loads of resources for it. You might also try java, its even better for small,portable programs, but its slower, and im nto sure theres any free complete versions of it.

Avoid the borg, and switch to Linux. Most languages are available free. The easiest to learn from scratch (that will do most everything) is probably Java, which now has a implementation in Linux with no Sun license issues. The question is what 'small' programs do you want to make? If you are talking about some automated tasks, just learn a shell and write some scripts. That is even easier than learning a language. If you need more than that, but don't want to write your own gui, learn python or pearl. They are advanced languages, with intuitive script like structures. If you are talking about crunching numbers, C is the way to go. All of this requires some time, but each is free in Linux.

It kind of depends on what you're looking to do and why.
Visual Basic is hard to beat for small programs and simple projects. It's not free, though. If you want free, there's a bunch of open-source C++ and C compilers that work really well, or you can write VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) using Windows Scripting Host or the macros in Mcirosoft Word or Excel.
Good luck.

Microsoft has free versions of all it's .NET languages, .NET, C++ and C#. I think that C++ will provide you with the smallest programs, just be careful about using their bloated libraries - learn to get by without them:
