I am new to Arduino board and am gonna use it for my project, just had few question hope you guys can help me out with them
1- Which type of language it used in this board (C, C++, ... ) ?
2- When i buy the kit from the company what they offer with the board ?
3- Regarding the libraries...are they free of charge ?
4- Is there any useful manuals and that can help me to get more familiar with arduino ?
5- if i want to connect the atmega328 UNO with GSM/GPS modems, which item would be the best suited for it GSM/GPRS/GPS-Shield or SIM900.

C++
2- When i buy the kit from the company what they offer with the board ?
The board comes fully assembled. Some vendors include a USB cable which is the only hardware you need to program the Arduino.
3- Regarding the libraries...are they free of charge ?
I have never found any that required payment. All the Arduino libraries I have ever used were free.
4- Is there any useful manuals and that can help me to get more familiar with arduino ?
5- if i want to connect the atmega328 UNO with GSM/GPS modems, which item would be the best suited for it GSM/GPRS/GPS-Shield or SIM900.
If you don't have experience with electronics then a shield is usually the best way to go. It makes all the connections between the device and your Arduino.
Thank you johnwasser the links are very useful
i'll go with shield i dont want to go in electronic problems
and thank you Grumpy_Mike
my project is highly depended on programming, and to be honest am lil bit weak in programming, so i want to confirm about the language before going more deep in the project..
because am going to take courses to be more familiar with the programming...so i want to know should i learn C or C++ ?
