Unrelenting

I'm new to programming, in general, I tried to learn C++ but it was too complicated, and im not saying Java is any easier in any way, but it seems like I can get a lot further with it. I need to start out small, like what means what, what a certain line of code means, and what their function is.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it (C++ it does) but I have a poor mathematical background. Like seriously last year(jr year) I took algebra 1, and i refuse to take a math this year.

I just need some reccomendations on good online books, and compilers and such
