Answer 1

yes,

You need to learn programming. There are many books on the subject geared toward the complete begginner. My word of advice is think of what you want to do first as in what type of program do you want to create. The reason I mention this is because there are many programming languages out there all with their own quicks, strength and weaknesses. Just to name a few C, C++, Java, python, ruby, perl, javascript, php the list goes on and on.

C/C++ are geared toward hardware. If you want to control hardware or deal with microcontrollers then These two languages are the way to go. Games are also created in these two languages due to their incredible speed however, for the type of game that the average Joe is going to create C/C++ is over complicated and too hard. In short if you really need speed and get close to the hardware then these two languages will serve you well.

Java is good for back end server stuff. It can do everything C/C++ can but easier and the speed is comparable. Not as fast but plenty fast.

python, perl and the likes are scriptng languages. These are easiest to use. python especially is very well rounded and very general purpose. It also integrates well with C/C++. Then again now a days most language do. The advantage of pytho is that is simple elegant and can do everything you will need if you install the right module. It also has a game library called pygame. Python might be a good place to start as far as general programing languages go because is easy to learn and apply.

Then there are the nets languages. PHP and Ruby. Ruby I think is more of a general programing language but it is used greatly in net related stuff. Don't know much really about it but I keep hearing good things, especially with rails which again don't know much of what it is since I have not needed it for the things I do. PHP is a server side language specifically built for the web. It runs on the server as opposed to on the users machine. If you need to do web related stuff then php is a good option. It is also very easy to learn. Javascript is also used for the web but it works on the persons browser. javascript and php work great together.

So, far all the languages I mention are free. However there are tools you can buy that are taylored specifically for a particular problem. For example mathlab which is used for math related stuff. It can be programmed. Then there is flash. It can also be programmed through actionsript. You can make animations, games, and other web applications. It ain't free but is worth the price.

Answer 2

Either learn C++ and in particular win32. This is your best option if you can actually program.

If not then try microsoft VB (Visual Basic). You need to leanr some code but its pretty easy and has a design view too.

But really if you can't learn C++ then chances are your program is going to be rubbish. And don't expect to just magic up a program and sell it for millions. It'll take years to become good enough to make good, comercial programs.
