I have absolutely no knowledge about any programming, and I just received a task where I have to learn the basics about programming.

I immediately thought about C/C++ because I have heard about it before, so which would be the best to start with? C or C++

Java.

C/C++ as a first language can be very frustrating. Java is easy to learn and still used ^_^

Thanks :)

What could i create with it?

I am having a presentation about it, so a simple program to show that I have actually learnt something about it would do.

no, I was outlining those points you made to show that python is probably a better choice for what you are asking to do than c/c++ or java

did you not see the 4th line of my post? lol.

Python the programming language. It is pretty nifty for handling something like you asked for.


google about it.

so you want to external apps and use i/o? that's usually not covered for several months in a typical beginner's class
