Hi Mykro, welcome to HFT! <img src="graemlins/jump.gif" border="0" alt="[Jumping]" /> :D
Check out this thread in <a href="http://www.helpfromtechs.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=13&t=000148" target="_blank">Useful Links</a> for some possible tutorials.
If you don't know what language you're interested in, I'll suggest Java. You can get a compiler and runtime environment from <a href="http://java.sun.com" target="_blank">Sun's Java Site</a> for free and they have tutorials. It's not necessarily the easiest language to learn, but it's possibly the most complete for a newbie. <img src="graemlins/evil.gif" border="0" alt="[Evil]" /> Otherwise you could try C/C++. There are free compilers available for them too if you like, such as <a href="http://www.mingw.org/" target="_blank">MinGW</a>. If you have access to Visual Basic, that's a great newbie language and allows you to program real applications quickly - as long as you are only interested in windows. ;)
Hope that helps a bit. If you have any questions, just ask. I don't guarantee I'll have the answers, but I'm sure someone here can, or can point you in the right direction at least. Welcome to the Wonderful World of Programming!! :D :cool:
