What software is good for graphics programming?
I have no background in graphics programming, although I have good math knowledge and otherwise decent basic programming skills. I’m looking for graphics software or a good programming language that will assist me in computing and demonstrating biological aspects of fractal geometry. Also, any suggestions on good literature 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 good choice. But just about any language that can use the windows GDI or GDI+ (C#, VB have GDI+ built in) then your can easily create 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 easier to draw with.
