Java could be a good one for you everything is free even the tutorials.
I just started with it and I am finding it really good, plenty of help on l=
ine. I am actually following a book by David J. Barnes and Michael K=F6llin=
g called objects first with Java. It comes with it's one IDE called BlueJ t=
hat uses the Sun Java compiler. I can not fault it, it as actually been ado=
pted as a test book at a lot of UK Universities.
This is the site for it: www.bluej.org

If you manage to finish the book you will definitely be able to do your pro=
gram and much more. =

Hope this helps =

Regards
	Luis
