I have "Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days", and it's quite nice so far. I might have to have a look into "Accelerated C++" too.


I also strongly recommend reading a bit through "Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years". Search for it on Google. It has some handy tips.

If possible find someone that knows how to program that you can ask questions of, and/or someone who wants to learn to program also.

I've found, that it's good to be able to ask questions in real life.

Additionally having someone near by learning at a similar speed helps multi fold,
1.) there's someone pushing you if he/she does something cool it will inspire you to learn it, especially since they're of the same skill level
2.) If you're both working from the same tutorial/book there's someone near by that's familiar with what you're trying to do, so you don't have to catch them up.
3.) Just taking the time to verbalize a programming question often time gets you thinking about your problem in a different way, and you can often solve it on your own.

I know this might not be possible, but having someone around in real life, even if they're learning too, is very beneficial.

Try making a guessing game where a user guesses a number from 1 to 100.
if the number they guess is lower, or higher then the actual number, then an appropriate message should be displayed.
