[ubuntu] Basic?

I just installed Ubuntu on my laptop because my programming professor insisted on it. This is my first time using Ubuntu. So I had some fairly basic questions.

Where do I write the code? I suppose it would be the terminal that opens by Ctrl+Alt+T, but from there how do I compile the code that I have written?

Is there a built in compiler or do I have to install one?

I downloaded the Ubuntu Software to create a USB to install Ubuntu. I rebooted my PC (Windows 7), in wich i did a partition (:E) just for Ubuntu. But when i start the installer, it says there's no other OS in my computer, and doesn't give me the option to install it in :E, just the option to format the WHOLE hard drive and install it there. What can i do?
