Hello everyone.

I'm 15 and at my school work experience in mandatory (I wanted to do it anyway) and I've started thinking about what I want to do with my life. I was thinking about a career as a programmer but I have not the slightest clue about it and what I've got to do. I'm calling to the fellow tech heads on DV about a few questions I have.

I'm strapped for cash...

1. I've got Dial-up... is that going to be a problem?

2. Any Free E-books/Sites which can teach me C++?

3. If "No" to 2, what is a good book I can buy for learning from?

4. Like I said, I have no clue about programming and if you have anymore details/help/suggestions I'm open for them.

Thank you very much.
