Yes there is indeed an IDE for a variety of of languages, also there are text based sessions also.

are you interested in programming or programming in/for linux?

please feel free to discuss this more

so far as learning how to program, their are a plethora of sources, so far as an actual environment to code in,go over to applications then highlight the programming section. That should give you an idea of the IDEs that are available

Yea, choosing an IDE is somewhat based on what language you want to program. I like Kdevelop. I think there also is Dev-C++ for linux but I haven't tried it.

Ok...and if there was one language to be learned for linux what would you guys suggest it be? (honestly i already know VB but i don't imagine that works too well in linux)

According to what the market shows, I think a lot are moving into python, they say it's relatively simple, flexible, strong...

I may dig into it too one day...

I would say that python is probably a good starting point. Starting with C would give you more appreciation for programming in general, but will require a little bit more learning. I personally think that the fact that a C-based programming language was my first, it has made me a better or at least more knowledgable programmer. With python though, the syntax is fairly straightforward and easy to understand, but the best part about python imo is being able to give someone else your .py file and they don't need any real extensive programming knowledge to run the program.

Thats cool i'll check out both at the same time b/c if i'm not mistaken python is just OO scripting like perl right??

Yep, similar to perl in matters of what it does, you write a script, the engine in the PC reads and runs it.
Perl is a little more comlex, but still not impossible to learn, there are online courses for it, I've started once one named "Perl in 21 Days" they recommend you to do what you need in the day 1 and not keep going, wait till tomorrow and continue with day 2, etc. It's a good course, I think it's even downloadable in PDF format.
I guess there are similar documents for python too.
C is a higer level and will give you programming power, and for someone that knows C all the rest are peace of cake, you can find a lot of similarities between programming languages, the more you see and learn, the easier new ones seem to you. The basics and programming logics are very similar to each other, but I couldn't find an easy way to learn C alone, it's too hard for me, so I prefer to start from easier ones.
Anyway, I think no matter language you chose, keep in mind that bash scripting is also something interesting, useful and will help you in the future, sometimes you HAVE to combine some bash in your perl or python scripts. So if you're into linux, start by learning bash to the depth of it, I've seen crazy and sophisticated scripts made in bash, if used right, it can be very powerful too.
