Microsoft is now giving away the full Visual Studio product, professional edition away to students.
This includes C++, C#, SQL, VB but not of course Java.
http://www.regdeveloper.co.uk/2008/02/21/free_microsoft_dev_tools/

They have been doing so for a while through the MSDN academic alliance - it includes Visual Studio in addition to much of their server software (i remember i got all of their stuff about 3-4 years ago through the MSDN AA). You'll find that many other software companies are doing the same - if you're a college student you can get software for nothing (legally).

I am trying to input time series data into MATLAB to perform fft analysis. I have been able to print to screen moving average filters, but getting the fft to show frequency components, and then in reverse, getting the ifft approximation in conjuntion with the original series has stumped me. Any suggestions, please?

Foundations of Computer Science, C edition by Al Aho and Jeff Ullman:

http://infolab.stanford.edu/~ullman/focs.html"

A superb book that's theory oriented. It's probably suited for programmers who are a little more experienced, but I'm a beginner, and this book served me quite well. It's probably one of the best books in its class. Best of all, it's free!

Figured this deserves to be mentioned:

Probably the most active programming Q&A site on the internet as I post this. Questions at any level about any programming language, library, algorithm, standard, etc. are welcome.

Does anybody have a good resource for learning the about what the preprocessor directives in C++ do? I mean as a novice they tell you to use iostream, iomanip, math.h, etc, but never tell you how to fully utilize them.

Technology will come & go. Complexity itself, algorithms, programming languages will stay with us. There is no substitute for practice. These are my favourite programming sites:

Stick with what is important. The rest will be simple.

If you already know some C/C++ and need extra performance, I would like to recommend use of NVIDIA CUDA.
It have a great set of samples and libraries. Personally I use it as a great sandbox for computer simulations.

For CUDA I recommend course on coursera.org: https://www.coursera.org/course/hetero

Installation is quite simple nowadays. For example on windows:
- download and install MS Visual Studio 2015 Community or MS Visual Studio 2012 Express depending on what HW and CUDA version you use.
- download and install CUDA toolkit or check archive. In my case it is enough to use CUDA 5.5 but of course I recommend the latest.

Good instalation guide is also here.
