Belisarius is on a distinguished road
C, C++, Java are all compiled languages; they need to transform source code into machine-readable code. You can fire up Notepad and edit the code, but you then need to compile it before you can run it. For C and C++, a free compiler that you can use is GCC. If you're interested in Java, you can download the Windows SDK from java.sun.com. I'm a Java programmer, so I'm more familiar with what you need for a sane programming environment in that than C/C++.
