I want to do "advanced" edits, like moving a jpeg image or even a video around the screen, on my mac. I want it open-source so I can look at how it works, and I want to spend as little money as possible on it. Any suggestions other than installing Linux on my mac(which is actually a family mac)?

Hello, I am fifteen years old, and I have approximately five days to decide my future job.
I am wondering if there is any career in computer programming that provides extremely good money (400,000$+). Also could you please list some courses that I would have to take in order to achieve this.
Thank you for your time. Full points to the best answer.

I want to get into programming but am unsure where to start. I already have a Bachelor’s (two actually) and don’t really want to fork up the money for more education (and would like to learn on my own); now that I’m OLDer, I have more discipline to study but need some help in how to go about this. More detailed questions are:

1. What programming languages should I study?
2. How do I gain programming experience so that I can build up my resume (in order to obtain a job that requires experience)?
3. Do you know of any good books I can buy to start in programming?

Thanks!

I downloaded the express edition of C++. But is that free or just a trial? Or is there a difference between Visual C++ express and the express version? What I’m asking is if the express edition is free or if Visual C++ and the express are the same and cost money.

To become a gaming programmer, is it better to have a BS in Computer Science and a gaming track, or to have a BS degree in Gaming Stimulation ?

Also, salary-wise, who makes more money, the programmers or the artists?

I have just graduated with the BS in Computer Science from Troy University. I currently work at a helpdesk making good money and I don’t really want to leave this position. However, I do want to eventually jump into programming and I would like to know the best way to get experience.

I have heard that internships are a great way to accomplish this but where would I find one?

I have absolutely no experience in programming but I am interested in writing iPhone apps. I have done a lot of research but I haven’t found anything that is for complete beginners. I am 13 years old and i hear that you can make a lot of money from iPhone apps. PLEASE HELP!

What are the operational differences between Linux and UNIX? Why would a programmer choose one over the other? What about software selection and ease of programming (with already basic knowledge of programming, and wanting to dive in to open source)?

In terms of Linux, what makes things like Red Hat cost money and things like Ubuntu not? Is pay-for OS based on Linux better quality than freely distributed OS? What is the best choice for Linux-or-Unix OS for a budding programmer?
