Is one of the best curated lists of excellent learning resources I've ever seen. Most beginning tutorials will walk you through compiling your first program step-by-step. You might also check khan academy and/or code academy for free tutorials, or just use google--they abound. A lot of universities are putting whole courses online for free now--you could search for some of those as well. Many languages that have their own de-facto community site will also offer learning resources. For C++ you can check the C++ FAQ lite maintained by Marshall Cline, one of the members of the standards committee. Java may have something similar--check Oracle's or IBM's java pages. As for learning how to make a bootable CD--pick a distro then check their docs. Most will have a tool. As far as making it start a program at boot--that will vary by their tool but shouldn't be difficult. There are several docs that show how a bootable CD image can be turned into a bootable USB drive. Building and maintaining a custom live-cd distro is an entirely different topic, and not anything simple.
