Hello,
Sorry to ask this question here but not sure where else to go. I have seen posts like Visual Basic verses C++ and the answer is usually each is suited for different purposes.
I have no programming experience but want to create a program to meet my specific needs but have no idea where to start.

I want the program to be able to look at 2 webcams, average the pixel value of each, and put out these in a log alongside a GPS bearing from an NMEA signal.

edit: using windows xp and only has to work on xp.

Any advice on where to start is greatly appreciated. I realise it would be a significant amount of work to do this and would have to start with simpler projects but the above is my ultimate aim and I would like to get there as quick as possible.

Thanks for your time.
Ben
