I do agree though that it's not easy to learn, and Java would be a better language to 'ease' into programming.
yes.... but you learned how to program in college.

that's my point.

sure - if you already know how to program computers or embedded systems, then go ahead and self learn C++ any way you want - that's what I did for the bit of C++ I've had to do.

But for gods sake, if you're not already an experienced programmer with some basic idea of proper code development practice, don't just go jump in and learn how to hack C++. - learn how to program at college.
