programming (not sure where to post this)

[sthreet]

Ok, I have a simple question and want to say hello Chief Delphi.
First year team, so this is my first time doing this, did a few google and Chief Delphi searches a while ago looking for what programming language i would use (i'm probably going to be our programmer) and couldn't find anything.
All i know is that it is (according to my teacher/adviser/team leader) "icon/image based" and based on C++.
I found several languages with google, and in the programming section their are several languages, could someone direct me towards whatever language i will be working with and possibly whatever software i will be using so i can mess around with it before the build season?
Thanks for any help or lack of help.
