Guys, I want to write a program to manipulate excel files i.e.
Read in an excel file

Use that information to make a new excel fire with a few manipulations, concatenations, etc..

The only experence I have programming is using matlab but I don't have access to that anymore.

I know we would just do xlsread = [number raw etc..] then get some data, I would usually use raw since it was just everything and go from there.

So how can I do this shit with visual studios?

I got the free shit because I'm a student.

It says choose your default environment. Should I be using C++, C#, or something else?
