- It worked for me. Make up your mind that that's what you're going to

- I started with C, but that was years ago. Start anywhere you like.
- Pick some books that have lots of examples, get yourself a compiler,

- "C Primer Plus" or "C++ Primer Plus" (by Waite and Prata, or just
- Prata, respectively).
