|  C? My brain hurts!
I can never understand computer languages! Java is prety easy to understand I hear- but all the books teach it to you as if you already know C!! How can I understand any of these languages? Any good scources???

Start with a BASIC variant. The syntax is generally rigid and far easier to read. Languages like C are full of shorcuts that can make it very hard to work out what a statement is actually saying.
BASIC will introduce to most of the main control abstractions, like loops, that are used in programming. Then if you find you can't do what you want to in BASIC you can move onto something more powerful like C.
Jumping in at the deep end will not help as you will just have too much to learn to start making any decent headway.

| Eaiye??
Yeah that sounds good! But where can I get Basic? And I'll have to pay for that won't I? If so- why do I have to pay for Basic but not Java or C?

If you use Visual Basic .NET you won't have to pay for it, you just have to download the .NET Framework 1.1, .NET SDK, and #develop(search google).

its because JAVA is basically C with a few variations. It is assumed you know C before you learn JAVA.

Go to www.mircosoft.com and go to the downloads section search for ".NET SDK" download it. Make sure you install that before you install #develop.
#develop, by the what it's pronounced SharpDevelop just like C# is pronounced C Sharp can be found http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/. As far as learning goes i recommend you get a book, I really like the "For Dummies" seris but I know they can get rather expensive.

No, it's the Software Developmetn Kit. It has the tools #develop needs to run.
