Create a computer application (software) from scratch

I'm 15, a competent HTML, JavaScript, CSS, PHP, and XML programmer, and I know Java well and a little C++.  I want to create a computer program (that can be installed off a CD or from online onto the users computer, and opened.  It will simply extract data from XML files offline and online and display them to the user.

What programming language do I need to use, how do I start (give me a link to a good website), and what am I actually trying to do???

Thanks so much, I've been looking for answers for a long time.

    Zachary,

    I'd recommend looking into learning Python. It's very easy to learn, and there's a few different functions you can use to "import" information from particular sources, whether it be a .txt file, or a complete website.

    Check it out, Here is a pretty comprehensive guide. It takes a bit of time to learn, and can get confusing. But its very simple. I see that you have experience already in quite a few different languages so you should pick it up in no time!

    Let me know how it works for you!
