I might be jumping ahead of my self.
But i'm on a mission.
And one of my friends already has some computer savy skills.
What do I need?

Additional bonus question, what program do I need to make video games?
That mostly depends on the programming language(s) you've opted to use.Quote:

Either way, bookmark the New Boston. It was my home away from home when I was at uni.

Depends on what kind of coding you plan on doing.
This sounds interesting and can be fun, but it will take a lot of hard work to make anything nearly as interesting as professional software. My suggestion is start with visual basic,very easy to understand for noobs. From there it all depends what you want to do. Be prepared to read a lot and practice all the time.
Notepad ++ or Sublime Text 2 are my 2 "go to" code editing apps, call me old fashioned I guess
I second Visual Basic. Easier to learn than C++, Java etc. Get your feet wet before trying harder languages.
I can mirror some of these comments - VB is easy to code in, but it'll probably ruin you if you want to get into actual coding as a career.
If you fancy trying it out - there is an amazing course just about to start - it's totally free and online - ran my a university - and will guide you through building a mobile phone game in java
