Hi, I’m a student in institution right now. I’ve familiarized myself with various CS classes such as C and Java and some other more functional languages like Matlab. But, right now I have an thought of a simple program/software that I wanna write for my own use, but I do not know where or how to start. I can write code, but I am missing the picture of the transition from knowing how to write code to really writing a simple software that you place on a CD. So I’d appreciate some guidance from the more experienced programmers out there. What is the next step given that I have an thought and I have the ability to code? Do I use something like Visual Basic etc?

Visual Basic .NET is a fantastic commencement langauge to start with. If you have Visual Studio, you can really make ready-to-install packages to place on a floppy, CD, or on an Internet Download Site.
Also, you’ll probably want to find someone who is excellent at MARKETING to help you sell it. As a general rule, those who can write code well cannot market it well (although, there are a few exceptions…like me. Heh!).
Excellent luck.
