Never, never, never try to start learning a language before you
learn how to program. A good algorithm simply cannot be replaced,
and learning how to write an alogrithm is in programming, not
in learning a language. You can sit down and read a hundred books
about how to use pointers and linked lists in c++, and you still
won't know how to use them in a good manner, if at all.
Here at GA Tech, in the first computer course you can take, a
pseudo language is taught so that the real objective of the class,
algorithm teaching, won't be disturbed by students trying to jump
the gun and diving in to any one language. This pseudo language
is a mixture of c, pascal, and a few other languages, along with
some non-language stuff like 'var1 isa number', so the non-programmers
can understand it. Probably half or more students going into
a programming major here have never programmed before, and would be
totally lost in the second computer programming course (programming
in pascal) if they hadn't taken this course first.
: I am not trying to be a wise guy, just a guy who can learn to program well

: I don't expect to start as the Sr. Developer on some project, I will
: happily slog it out in the trenches and pay my dues, just explain to me
: how to get there...
The best programmers can do anything on a computer, absolutely
anything that the computer will let them do, and sometimes even
more. And these are the guys that make the money. And the only
way to become one of these guys is to learn how to program.
Once you learn how to program, a language is no problem, it's the
easy part. If you start with learning a language, you'll have one
hell of a time if you ever have to learn another language, or better
yet, to convert your current code to another language.
Good luck.
