as i took my high school java class last year i was intrigued by the possibilities java offered, and i had a decent handle on the language so i wanted to try my hand on something a little bit different. i wanted to try programming applications in windows but i have no idea where to start. i would assume you could use a mulitude of languages but i've heard several users here stating not to use VB and what not so i'm wondering what i should use. basically i wanted to start by making simple apps, (timers, music, organizers, calendars, that sort of thing) and then move to mroe complex items(ie using databases, file saving, dealing with memory usage) but once again i'm clueless as to where to start.

the only thing i've got so far is maybe using C# but i'll leave it up to you guys for suggestions, but i dont know what compiler or anything to use (ms just released their dreamspark, so idk if anything in there might help) or what sites to visit. thanks for your time.

c# express 2005 is a good ide
Eclipse is good for java
Notepad is all you need for perl/python
C++ im not really sure what to recommend for an ide.

You can do all those things in Java and any pretty much other programming language. The choice of language is less important than you might think. Pick a language you like and learn that. If you want to avoid having to deal with memory stick with something like python/perl/java/c# if you want to play with pointers and manual memory allocation (much less exciting than it sounds) go with C and C++

VB is fine for what you want to make.

A big plus on c# for me is the SharpDevelop compiler. i like the graphic feature it has for clicking and dragging windows components (such as textboxes, buttons) onto your form, which then auto-generates code. that also lets you learn from that code.

there's also the msdn compilers for lots of languages.

i've only used c# for windows and i like it. The .net framework is still being worked on, so that's a good thing i suppose.

that's my 2 cents.
