Start in C, THEN move on to C++. You'll miss the basic concepts of a few things if you don't learn C first, and C is much more straight to the point while C++ has a lot of fancy things.

It seems the 'teach me in 21 days' for C seems to be good...except that the title is a lie, it has a quick introduction to C I believe...I personally have 4 C books and no C++ books (my father bought 3, which are really really old). Mostly reference books.

Hehehe, wait till you get to the part of pointers *laughs sadistical*

Infact, pointers is a very very easy concept...somehow everyone (including me) has problems learning the use of them...perhaps it's easiest to have some ASM knowledge, just to get known with the way things work on your PC

But yes, C is a good start I find
