AThere's no way to learn programming fast, and unless you have a natural talent for it, it's not easy.Start with http://www-old.oberon.ethz.ch/WirthPubl/AD.pdf the best programming course ever written. (No, I have nothing to do with the author - I just used the book for years to teach programming.)If you want to just be able to make a few programs - without knowing what you're actually doing - download Visual Basic and play. You won't get far, but if you're not serious about learning programming, that's about the best you can do. C and C++ will be WAY over your head at this point. Even learning it will be - you don't have the basic concepts yet. (You'll be using pointers all the time - so you first have to learn what a pointer is, how to use it and how to NOT use it - and you won't learn that by learning C.)

AC# and Java are essentially identical. I personally prefer C# because of some small details, but Java is more commonly used. If you learn one, it will be extremely easy to use the other.

AUsually, we use assembler to control IO device in PC with more 'high' programming language (eg. Delphi, Pascal, C++).You can use real assembler compiler like Turbo Assembler to make some software (under Ms-Dos environment), but its feel like you want to build a tower with a hand.in now days, most of high programming language have many function/procedure to control IO device, so we don't need assembler anymore,except if you want to build device driver for some hardware which mean : you work on hardware manufacture.If you want to know what jobs you will get with your 'assembly language', try www.monster.com.

AI have to agree with what has been said. If you are a student working for a non-profit or university center of some kind, don't get involved. They don't like one another, and the worst thing you can do is criticize their bad behavior. They both will regard you negatively. If you go to their higher ups, you can't win. They are much more important to the organization than you are. The higher ups will ignore you, if you're lucky. They will let the people involved know that someone complained, if you're not. It won't take long for the witch hunt to begin and, if you're the new person, who do you think they will suspect of complaining?Now you will be in a situation where two members of senior management regard you as a trouble maker and a possible threat. Life at work will be great, as these two look for a reason to get rid of you so that they can fight in peace.The politics of schools and non-profits can be worse than the in-fighting in a business because there is no requirement to get along and play as a team. All that means is you have to put up with it, and the less you talk about it with anyone at work, the better it will be for you.

AThere are several things to take into consideration.For big companies, if the lead programmer has a proven record, the owner usually don't bother with whether or not his game gets made. For someone like Kojima, the owner have trust that he'll produce a great game, so he just gives him an automatic okay.For other companies, usually small companies, the owner do have a say in what game gets made because a bust can ruin the company.

Aabout 500 people thats what i found searching and i guess you have about 50 million laying around to get started with

Ai would go with what ever you feel like you put your most effort in is what you should do or do all 3. Also whats the indie game i'd love to check it out.
