Scratch

I'd suggest you learn Python instead. It's a much cleaner, more readable language — and it's much easier to learn, too!

Bucky Roberts is really good at teaching programming.

Have you checked your local library (Or used book store if you have one, those are great too) for books about learning either? You could be pleasantly surprised! You could probably also find decent lessons online but personally I like having a huge reference book to search through and take notes on

MIT has this "OpenCourseware" thing where they make a bunch of their course materials available online (and available for downloading too I think) for everyone for free, with assignments and lecture notes and project outlines and everything available; I checked and they had a few C / C++ stuff up

If you're interested:

Engineering > Computer Science > Programming Languages, and just find the C / C++ related ones

Good luck with learning this! I previewed the lesson plans and it seems complicated (I'm really not what you'd call a programmer, though), but I'm sure you could do it if you try hard enough at it and practice!
(+Is this the right forum for this? Making/Creating seems like it'd better suit it)

I tried books from the library once, but they really confused me. cplusplus.com has a good tutorial. A friend of mine learned C++ as his first programming language using that website.
