Game Programming question.?

-I am looking to go to College for Programming (for video games). I am looking for someone who can provide me with a link and some information to find a program and a language I can learn in order to start practicing the programming language.



If it helps I am trying to get a job with Sony, or Microsoft. So if you can provide the common programming programs / languages for both of them it would be great.



Please do not just give me a language like C++, I need to know which programs to use in order to actually learn C++ if that makes sense.



Please provide links if you can to websites you know.



I am also looking for tutorial websites if you know any that can help me work on learning the programming language. Thanks!Visual C++ Express is the free edition of the Visual C++ IDE from Microsoft.

You can download it from Microsoft.com:

To learn the language just Google "learn c++ game programming".

Here are some places to start:
