Im trying to teach myself some more java before next semester and need some sites that are good for beginners.  Also I want to learn a little C++ too so I can start some homebrew.

If you want free software, Microsoft is giving away Express versions of their dev packages (J# and C#).  You can download them from the official MS web site.   I think that they are similar to Java and C++. Not sure though, since I don't code with them.

A good IDE to start with is Eclipse. That IDE is a very good one, I got it recommended by a heavy Java programmer and the IDE is indeed one of the best I've used. A similar one is Netbeans. They also have a very good and interesting newsletter that is ran by a very enthousiastic and decicated programmer. You might want to look into that as well. For C++, your better off with a good Borland compiler and IDE... the freeware versions aren't really that good. In case you want to start with this, try to see if there are special formulas for students or if you can get it free from schools or universities. You either have to enroll in classes or study for it in order to get the software of course, but they are quite open for this in case you prove to have a positive attitude toward development. You get a no if you don't ask for sure... so why not try? Other then that, follow fynne's advice on the MSDN programme.
