You really want a course that's high on programming and low on maths - with college most computer courses (especially if they mention 'programming') should be acceptable - especially with C/C++ ones. Dont really bother with Pascal, unless is a secondary language.

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...

Borland Builder 6.0 is free and can compile Windows C/C++ Exe's ... and Builder 5.5 is still up there because thats the last totally free version, because 6.0 if you release anything they charge you for it.
Aparently there's an IDE around the site somewhere, but i dunno where so don't ask

Its got a great looking IDE and works straight off.

Has a VC++ -> C++ converter, not sure if it works though
