Hello all,
I'm very interested in learning how to make programs (such as for example a simple calculator or a more "advanced" web-browser). But to get started I want your opinion on the following cases:

• What language do I need to make such programs in (are there any similar ones to PAWN? Are there different "levels" of programming with the different languages?)?
• Where can I find more information about this language? (For example a WIKI similar to the SA:MP one).
• What program do I need to make for example a calculator? Do I need to compile my code after I've written it? If yes, then how do I do that?
• What are your best tips on learning how to create programs (from basics to knowing how stuff works)?

As you can see, I'm very interested in learning how to create programs. If you have anything more to add, feel free to do so!

And yes, I am a total noob at this, so don't expect me to understand everything (however, I have some knowledge from the PAWN language).

Cheers,
MrObviousPotato.
