Yeah, just change the encoding of your document in the text editor. This changes only the encoding of your source code. A text editor that can do this is for example Notepad++.

You should first find out what Programming really means. When you got enough information about this subject you could start learning a language (it's easier). A high-level language is often not more or less advanced than any other - you can do most things in any language. Some topics to keep in mind when learning a language is how the memory is managed and how to use the syntax (the grammar of the language). For instance, Java tries to free used memory when there is no more use of an object. This is not the case in C++, where you are responsible for the memory you occupie. When we talk about the syntax in a language we are refering to how you read and use the language itself. Example: Java uses dot notation (.) where PHP uses pointers (->). Computer programming in general: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming There are a few pros and cons between the different languages, but it all boils down to the programmer and how you manage the language. Use the language that suits you! The word "language" is used frequently... LANGUAGE!
