The internet's got a buncha resources. Try i na computer class or something too.

Answer 3

C++, although extremely versatile, isn't a simple language. I'd recommend looking at Stanford's CS106A http://see.stanford.edu

Answer 4

Since we cannot rid openstudy of poorly thought of questions by the user (I), here are the resources that one should read (or I will): Think Python, Learn Python the Hard Way, look at this website: http://showmedo.com/videotutorials/python , and look at this discussion if needed more resources: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/111857/what-did-you-use-to-teach-yourself-python .

Answer 5

C++ is harder and takes longer to code in. Python is easier and faster to code in.

Basically, it depends on what you want.

If you want to get started programming as fast as possible to satisfy your "hunger" for coding, then choose Python.

If you want to learn one language that will make future languages much easier to learn at the expense of waiting and struggling longer until you can make a first real program, then choose C++.
