Finding tutorials is a bit beyond the scope of this list (google "C++
tutorial" or "java tutorial"), but as far as development environs ...
Java has a development environment (IDE) called "Eclipse" that, IIRC,
is in Fedora Core. Try "yum list eclipse" to see if you have it, and
"yum -y install eclipse" if you don't. If you prefer to use the
command line, learn to use vi, emacs, or nano (text editors) to write
your code. Use javac to compile, just as on Windows and Mac OS.
C++ also has IDEs, but I'm not familiar with them. Again, use vi,
emacs, or nano to write your code on the command line, and use gcc to
compile (you may need to install it, depending on what options you
chose when installing Fedora.
Happy hacking!
See also the JPackage repository (jpackage.org) for Eclipse RPMs and
many other Java-related tools and systems.
There is a C/C++ plugin for Eclipse (called CDT). It seems pretty
featureful (maybe not as mature as the Java one), though I'm just trying
to learn it now.
I use source-navigator for C/C++, etc. (it handles other stuff, too).
You have to build it from source, but it's pretty nifty. If you want to
use a GUI debugger with it, you also need to build and install insight,
too (based on gdb).

Works for me!
