scripting is a term often used to mean the code you write that tells the computer how to perform a certain task.

>>where do i get the programming software
depends on what programming language you want to learn. For now you will want to get that information from your school counselor or instructor when you sign up for a specific language course. Usually teachers require all the students to use the same compiler to make it easier for him/her to teach the class.

What programming language do you want to start with -- there are dozens of them. I hear php or python might be a good ones to start with.

Here's just one thread you might want to read.

Infinite Recursion

www.python.org - for the python language
www.php.net - for the PHP language
www.bloodshed.net - for a few IDES, particularly Dev-C++

If you are running Linux, then look into GCC and VI via google. Otherwise, look into Linux.
