| I am in year 7 (UK, I don't know what grade that is for you Americans) but I am pretty mature for my age and me and my friend reckon we can conquer it. We got the highest ICT, maths and science results in the year. What do you think? Can you recommend any good books? Thanks, Matt. |

| Year 7? As in age or grade? If you're 7 then go write a book at 11, kudos to you. |

Nate, take a moment to think before you post.
He's in a European country (they have different school years).
So he's not 7. He's probably older.

I'm thinking around... twelve?
Anywho, I would recommend Java if you want to learn to program. Normally the variegated syntax and abilities of C/C++, being as they are lower level, combined with memory management can be quite an issue. Java, for the most part, simplifies this and aids you in many endeavors with a somewhat generic and vast standard library. |

Java's a bit of a draconian programming language. So I heard.

If it works the same way how it works here in Finland he should be around fourteen right now. |

Java is pretty good. If you want real-world applications, buy an arduino. Arduinos use a java-based programming language that's quite easy to learn. |

I'd probably recommend not getting a book. Many perfectly acceptable, __free__ internet resources exist for learning Java. Thenewboston, a YT channel, has some pretty awesome video tutorials. You could probably find a good deal more internet resources with Google.
