should I start with something else? or can you jump directly into to c++..

100% beginner, though I think I have a good touch for learning new things.

ty.

no problem to jump directly into C++, but imo no reason to not first learning some C.

You'd better go with python.

I started with C++ and I dont regret it, though I was coding in this language only for about 2 months it has taught me a lot about basic stuff such as variables, loops, some basic syntax...then I touched winAPI a bit and started to code in PHP, what I do already for about 2 years...Anyways, you'd better go with PHP

I'm not looking to code websites at all.. looking to make programs etc..

what the fuck

who normal recommends php over c++? (or just over anything else)

OP, go for c++, you can't go wrong here.

it depends on what you want to do - i use php since it's nice to do websites.
nn coding a website in c++, unless there is really a reason to do it.

for general programming i would not recommend php, but for websites i would.

for someone starting, they'd go with html -> css -> javascript before php.

if you want to get into system application design c and C++ are both great options.

I would say learn C first though, as you "can" (though it's not good practice) use some C in C++ very easily, however using C++ in C is just not possible.
I would recommend C over C++ even more if you're wanting to get into writing code for/on POSIX based systems as a majority of libraries are based in C still.
Though both are great languages to learn and will lend skills to you that are very useful for learning other languages.

Cheers and best of luck with studies!

I always learned/"taught" with java to begin with.

What every you do please find a decent compiler once you familar with what you're doing.
