Visual C++ witch comes with Visual Studio is good, YOu can get a book called Learning C++ in 21 days. That is just what the book does. Shows you how to use Visual C++, but not only the GUI but gives you some tips on learning the code.

That and get on a linux box now! there are just to many "free" scripts out there that are on linux unix , hell even Mac OS is using an unix shell.

As well as C++, JAVA, and VISUAL BASIC are two giants in the programmers languages; Not only is visual basic EASY for many to learn, but it gives GUI creation a new level of simplicity - For Visual Basic it is "Build the stuff, then code it" You make the buttons first, then tell the program what to do with them, making it one of the easier languages to learn.

As Juke mentioned above, Linux is great for a coder, and as far as I know still one of the most popular webservers (But I don't have any experiences with that.)

Anyways, hope you found my tips helpful to your endeavors as a Programming Major, it is not an easy route as it can be very frustrating.

Have fun!

Edit: Forgot to mention PHP too.
I also read "C++ Programming in easy steps by Mike McGrath" It is very helpful and a smaller book. Great for starters.

Here, This is the Website witch I started off learning C++. He Shows you what is called " Hard Coding"

Learn C++ - » The C++ Tutorial


Below are 3 of the best compiler: Code Block is good since it looks like Notepad++ but it can compile.
::Code:Block::, Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008 and Dev C++

You might wont to google Notepad ++. Its only like 10 mb, I have it but cant upload.

Microsoft Also has a Free version of Visual C++ called " Visual C++ express"
