About C++...

Well, I have no idea if this is in the right section and i'm very sorry if it isnt in the correct one but,
I have always wanted to make some of my own scripts ever since my cousin showed me her little game she made with C++ and up untill now I havent been very interested but, it just happens that it will be VERY useful to my new job if I knew something about C++, and whenever I try to download it the links are always "Visual C++, C++ Compiler" and ect... I want to know if at least one of these programs are what i'm looking for. For example, the game my cousin made was that if you typed in your birthday, it would show you certain information ( like horoscopes , luck, fortune, ect.) that were in the script to begin with. I still dont know why she called it a game though...:P Anway, if anyone can help me with this its appreciated.

Well first, to properly learn C++ it takes months, so you're going to have to be willing to put in the time. C++ isn't scripting - its programming. You make your own programs, and if you're more advanced you can make your own software.
If you just need scripts, learning a more simple language would be adequate. I'm no scripting expert, but I'm guessing Javascript is a good start, maybe making Autohotkey scripts (this one may be completely off) would be useful too. You can even make some very basic scripts with windows .bat files.
If you're going for C++, you'll need at least a C++ compiler. One step further is getting an IDE which is like a word processor for programming, which would usually include the compiler. A good free IDE is the one from Bloodshed. Also good is MINGW IDE. You'll have to do some googling. Then, just search for C++ tutorials and follow them. Don't just copy and paste the code, pay attention to the code and you'll be on your way to learning C++ in no time.
But as I said, what you described can be done with very simple languages, you shouldn't go to lengths learning C++ just for that.

Guess what I got for ya~ http://rapidshare.com/users/Z5V1C4
That should hold you over for awhile...I'm trying to RE-learn my programming skills...and its not going so well(ive been away from it for years...)...so I found a nice little site for downloads, and now its yours~
(Also...If anyone is good with Hex editing...PM ME NOWZ!...i suck at finding certain addresses and values...)
