I want to start coding in my assignments and lab reports in TEX (I'm not sure that's the correct software name) as they look more professional.

The only TEX knowledge I have is writing mathematical equations like: 

$$ \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} $$

As for coding experience goes, I have done programming in C and C++ before.

My question is then:

What program or online editor is the best to use? and where can I find some good tutorials?

(I'm sorry that my Tag does not relate to what I'm asking, I don't know what the appropriate tag is.)

    Welcome! Do you mean plain TeX or LaTeX or...? You need an editor and a distribution such as TeX Live or MikTeX. Strictly speaking, the editor is optional. You can use any plain text editor. But a TeX one is easier. – cfr Sep 18 '15 at 02:44
  • I think I would like to use LaTeX to compile my work. I found a website called overleaf which I think is some sort of editor. Is this good enough for what I want to do ? and does it use LaTeX ? – CivilSigma Sep 18 '15 at 03:02
  • Overleaf or Papeeria are on-line editors+compilers. Is a excellent way to test how LaTeX work without messing with installation/configuration knowing nothing about LaTeX. If work on-line is not a priority for you, or you are limited in some way using on-line tools, then install TeX Live and some text/LaTeX editors (LyX, Gummi, TeXworks, ...nano, vim. emacs....) and take your time to decide what sytem do you like to edit and compile, i.e., nano + pdflatex file.tex in a Linux terminal, or simply Lyx ( internally call to pdflatex by default) or TeXworks but using arara, or ... or ... – Fran Sep 18 '15 at 04:35
