Well I would like to learn c++, c, java, and other us-full programming languages but i don't know ware to start
Is Notepad ++ Portable good to write the program or should i use CodeBlocks Portable or some other portable program. I need something portable cus mom/dad DON'T want me to install stuff on there computer. Also is there a compiler that is portable.
I know what an .exe is but what is a .dll. Is a .dll like an .exe but it needs an .exe to run it. If so how can i make a program that will run a .dll to do something.
How would i make a program that will read a file like a .txt file or an .html file and display it.
I would like to make a program like Cygwin but simpler and you can take most any linux program and run it portably on linux and windows.
Thank you for any help I can get on programming.
Andrew

a dll is known as a Dynamic Linking Library that ties it to the Operating system.

code blocks is for C++ only, really, but it can be used just as a notepad for other languages
notepad++ will work with any language but it is not a compiler
without installing stuff, Try for learning C++, then yuo can use code::blocks
as for a complier other there's MinGw32
Lead, Follow, or get out of the way.
how do i install MinGw32 to the usb drive and use it with code::blocks
And is i truly portable.
Thanks for the help,
Andrew
