Like to learn a little simple programming so I can talk with my son about it. What is a good free complier for C language? C++? Should I study C before C++ or are they similar?
Thanks,
John

I learned C language before C++ and it helped me to grasp the concept.
C++ is basically C but object orientated, if you want to get a better understanding of the language before you get into C++ you may want to just go through C, you don't really have to learn it 100%.
Also if you learn C first, then go onto C++ you'll understand the difference between the two languages and how Object orientated programming has evolved.
Basically if you are just doing this for a hobby, learn C first to get a better understanding, otherwise if you want to learn it in a hurry and you not grasping C++, learn C, otherwise just go over to C++.
Otherwise I can't really think of any other advantages.

Universities tend to teach C++ or Java as their introductory courses. Both of these will give you a good foundation to build on for all the other languages out there. Personally I learned C++ first, but I find Java to be much easier to use, and probably much easier to learn. Sun offers a lot of good tutorials to help you get started with Java, and they have great documentation for explaining all their built in classes.

C is a procedure oriented language and C++ is an Object Oriented language.
In my opinion, if u make ur self comfartable with C i.e. when u learn how to solve the problems using procedural approach.
It will be easier for u to learn C++ as in C++ u will learn how to implement object oriented approach and u can do better in both approaches.

Dev-C or Putty. Uggg, I just got done w/ a C programming course. It is interesting but very confusing at times. C and C++ are similar and C is rarely used but it couldn't hurt to start there. Once you learn C, C++ should be a breeze. The only difference is that C++ is C on steriods.(:

They are very much similar. I would skip C language if I were you. But it won't hurt if you get to learn more languages.
