    "C++: How to Program" (Deitel) is a decent textbook to start with. There are so many tutorials out there that it is hard to point to any of them as an absolutely perfect resource. Do you have any programming experience?

    Learning (even only the basics) of C++ takes a long time for a beginner , but if you want to bite through it i can recommend you "Thinking in C++" by Bruce Eckel.

    Volume 1 and 2 are freely available at http://www.mindviewinc.com/Books/ and are really great books to learn the language.

    I wouldn't start on C++, but a simpler language, my favourite being Pascal

    pascal is good but will get you confused when you use pointers in C

    Go to your local bookstore and have a browse through their computing section. They should have at least the most popular books (e.g. ...For Dummies, SAMS Teach Yourself....). Just look through the books and see which is written in a way you understand.

    i might look into a couple of these sources, too. i've always wanted to code. it'll take a lot of time and effort to learn though.

    i think all coding somewhat follows the same structure, each language has its perks. Generally its the metholodgy of how you instruct your program to work.

    best suggestion is take a look at some source code and mess around with it, start with the basics and see how far you will dive into what your researching the rest will come to you.

    I started to learn VB but since it wasn't as powerful as the other languages (C++, C#). I started to learn C# being the easiest for me to learn but still very powerful. But C++ still confuses the crap out of me but I'm learning it.
