Is there a software where I can create my own software?

Question

don't say just basic cuz i hate that one

where can i get c++?

i only want free softwares.

Answer 1

Hey itchy,

You should try Python. It's a programming/scripting language that is easy to learn and it runs on all the major operating systems, including Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Python is free!

You can download a free book about how to program in Python here:
http://www.byteofpython.info/

You can get a tutorial here:
http://docs.python.org/tut/

You can get Python for Windows here (it already comes with Mac OS X)
http://www.python.org/

You can get good jobs with Python also. Google uses a lot of Python.

You could try C or C++, but that is just going to hurt your head. Better to start with Python, Ruby, or something like that.

If you want to try Ruby instead, there is a good tutorial here:
http://poignantguide.net/ruby/

You can download Ruby for Windows here -- it is also free:
http://rubyinstaller.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl

Both Ruby and Python are great for making regular programs, and also for making dynamic web sites.

One other option is to download Ubuntu Linux. It's free, and all of the programming stuff is free also. It comes with Python, and you can get Ruby, C, C++, Gambas, and many other languages for free with just a few mouse clicks. Check it out:

Keep going up to better programs to write in until you are happy. Engineers have a habbit of writing in DOS for test equiptment automatic testing and for technicians to use to accomplish tests. XL is good unless you need a program that has to run and go do things internally in the computer, or through ports. Maybe the easy way out, is to check the internet and libraries for free programs, that are as close to what you want, the way they work, and change them. Doesn't matter what the program is for, as long as you find sections in the same program language, until you have pretty much everything you need, like automatic data entry alphabetizing when saving data, search data by first letter of alphabet to avoid a lot of scrolling, or learn how to write a statement, by seeing a statement written, like when you click Exit it will say, "So You Are Planning To Exit This Program, Do You Want To SAVE The Changes You Have Made Since Your Last SAVE, Or Just Exit. Press "Y" for SAVE; Press "N" For Exit Program. You can still write freely in programs, you just have to pick one that you can handle without going back to school. There are a lot of computer language books in public libraries, especially in San Francisco Library, if that is near. You can compare languages until you can find one that is more understandable for your purpose. Or you could call some company and ask to talk to a software engineer, and pick his brains. That might be the best idea for guidance, since it will take some time to get up and running your software project, with the fastest and best start, to avoid several failures.

Answer 3

Many. They're called compilers, and come in several different languages. Common ones are C++, visual basic, Java

You can pick one up at any software store. What kind of software you decide to create will affect which one you need to use.

Answer 4

Okay, if you don't like visual Basic, then you could try something like C++. There are many programming languages to choose from, but Basic (and Visual Basic) is the easiest to learn. After that, there are many more powerful (and more complex) choices. I'm sure others will have other suggestions...

Answer 5

Not sure what you mean. Are you looking for a compiler, which allows you to convert source code (a program) into an executable that runs? If so there certainly are. If you download Cygwin http://www.cygwin.com/ you can get a C/C++ compiler called gcc for free. I think there is also FORTRAN and Pascal available, but I'd stick with C/C++.

Answer 6

WELL C++, BUT I DOUBT ULL GET IT, U MUST BEGIN WITH VISUAL BASIC, THEN MOVE ON UP, AFTER YOU HAVE MASTERES BASIC THEN GO BACK TO THE MICROSOFT WEBSITE AND IT WILL TELL YOU WHICH WOULD BE THE NEXT STEP, YOU WILL NOT LEARN FAST IT TAKES TIME...
