Question to programmers

Is programming like mathematics where there is only "one answer"?
If so what are some good websites you can recommend for a newbie programmer?

I want to get a good head-start before I start college.

I think I will need java, vbasic and c or c++ info...

only bad programmers need garbage collectors
Naive. Good programmers who don't want to waste their time because they've matured enough to realize their time is far more valuable than new hardware use garbage collectors too.

C++ is touring complete, whereas C is not.
WTF? C++, C, Basic and SBN for that matter are all Turing-complete.

Try Python.
