Why yes, yes it is. Check out the Java Native Interface. Best of luck to you. |

It's possible - JNI, as rdrake said. The better question is why you would want to do that. There are some use-cases where you literally cannot do something in Java and therefore have to do it in another language (frequently C/C++), but those are pretty rare. You've got me curious now. |

You should probably start with Turing. The download is free, the help is bundled, the error messages are friendly, and there's a community here to help you. Specifically, follow The Turing Tutorial. Moving from Turing to Java is pretty easy (from personal experience). C++ is an unmitigated horrorshow to for learners, so you should probably stay away from that. |

With all due respect to those who've learned Turing in school... why would anyone in their right mind not constrained by a course's curriculum choose Turing over open alternatives like Python, Scheme, etc? |

Because I haven't looked at the Python tutorials here, so I have no idea whether they're complete / any good. I also don't know Python. Besides, you're probably talking about someone who doesn't know what a command line is, so you have to factor that in. |

Sounds like we found an excellent place to start! |

Hmmm...do we have a tutorial for the CLI (particularly on Windows, as that's where I'd assume most of the newbies to be)? |

lol ok i know what a command line is and i can make only simple cmd files (like once i made the matrix ...1s and 0s going down at a set speed...and colour green...with spaces between em...)..using c++ i made that
i know basic stuff but thats bout it like i think the most advanced thing i might kno is arrays? srry i didnt explain better earlier...but cus i had to go to sleep 
so i kno basic c++....basic HTML...and ya...just the basics... |

sinper4life, I assume you mean .exe files? and C++ is an excellent language, but probably not the best one to start with, I would recommend Turing or Python to start |
