Hi i am starting to  get very interested in programing and would like to  make a nice game  one day..

i have a book C++ for dummies from 2000.. and i was wondering if this book is out of date
the software on the CD is for sure out of date

anyway i have no idea were to start, what languages i should use to program in
what compiler i need to use
so i was wondering if any of you could guide me in the right direction
where to start, some basic documentation about programing in general

i am really new at this, i know HTML/css  but well  that is nothing like  C++/python

i followed a tutorial roguebasin.roguelikedevelopment.org/index.php/Complete_Roguelike_Tutorial,_using_python%2Blibtcod,_part_1
and i can  type over the code, and understand a bit what is what, but in general i really don't have a clue how it works
and where to place code and all that

hi
i found a C++ book for dummies(2001) in a trash bin in the city
and was wondering how to make a game like DF

but where do i start, i want it to be in CP437 (Extended ASCII)
but in what to code it?
i was looking at pygame  http://www.pygame.org/wiki/about
but dont know nothing aboute it
i am new at this, python/c/c++ and those programing codes
but not new at coding stuff, so i hope i understand it more when i start with this

just dont have a cleu where to start and what to look for....

anyway any tips would be helpfull

Thanks JAylow

i bought it when i was 8 year old in spane on some market in barcelona from some gipsys
now  i have it for like 16 year lying around and i started to wonder what kind of sword it was
it says on the side: something something toledo 189something (somewhere in 1890's)

i just was wondering if it was militarie and for what rank if its is not just some crapy sword
i remember hitting a lot of Hogweed with it

i hope there are some people that know something about sowrds here
