Subject: Programming difficulties

Hello everyone,

  About 1 year ago I started playing against chess programs.  I wondered how
someone could produce such a thing.  I did a few google searches and was led
here.  After learning that chess engines were created in C++ and other
programming languages I really wanted to write my own, but I never could because
I was never able to afford the software needed.  About 2 weeks ago I bought MS
C++ and was working through their tutorials.  I found it very hard learning the
C++ language and essentially quit.

  After compiling my first very basic Java program at school, I decided to give
it another shot hoping it would come easier this time.  After about 3 days of
solid studying I feel I have not progressed.  Should I give up?  Or are there
easier tutorials out there?  Maybe programming isn't for everyone but I really
have the desire to create an engine.  Opinions?  Or maybe someone could give me
some info on some other programming languages.  Any books or online tutorials
anyone could reccomend would be great.

Thx in Advance
