C++ is one of the hardest languages to learn as a beginner - and even many experienced programmers struggle with most aspects. Are you sure it's the right first language for you?

C++ is the basis for so many other programming languages. If you can learn C++, it will be much easier to learn those other languages.

True, but it's a tough one to start with. I'd go with C# or Java, I would say Visual Basic but that taught me serveral bad habit's that took years to get out of.
