I know C/C++ is bit difficult
things like pointers can drive you nuts but
with practise you can become better at it.
I would suggest that you guys first pick up a good book on C than branch out OOP (c++) or java.
There tons of good books on c/C++ out there.
Be patient, programing takes a lot of time to learn and dont get frustrated....
Also do not start programming on the amiga if start of programing for the first time.
First of all, there not alot of resourses(books) on amiga platform. When you get stuck, it can difficult to find help.
Therefore, go out and buy a book on C first and learn programming on the PC platform. Pc have alot more resourses to help you out. Once
you have learned come back to the amiga, that way you will feel much comfortable.
