I have no background in graphics programming, although I have excellent math information and otherwise decent basic programming skills. I’m looking for graphics software or a excellent programming language that will help me in computing and demonstrating biological aspects of fractal geometry. Also, any suggestions on excellent journalism related to this subject would be greatly appreciated.

    well, if your are looking for an IDE (integrated development enviroment) then Visual Studio is always a excellent choice. But just about any language that can use the windows GDI or GDI+ (C#, VB have GDI+ built in) then your can easily make graphical apps.

    GDI is a set of windows functions that allow you to draw lines, dots circles and stuff. It supports bitmap drawing and 32-bit bitmap alphablending. GDI+ is even better as it supports more image formats and is simpler to draw with.
