Programming in General

[riverstyz]

I'm a noob at programming and hoping to start in programming for the future.
So I have a question, what are the languages used for, beside the obivous, making programs?

And for each language, what compliers do you recommend?
Like C++'s complier is devNet etc.

So what are your suggestions

The compiler i'd probably recomend the most is GCC, thats because there are versions of GCC available to compile practically any language, meaning that you will be able to build programs in any language, even if you can code programs in any language.

also learning to use GCC will teach you about linking and dependancies,

where might I get GCC?

If you are ever doing assembly programming though, use NASM. Much better than the GNU assembler.
