if you start with c++, you will learn all about variable types. It will be a pain in the ass but you will understand the subtleties. The heart of programming IMHO is all about algorithms; even doing simple stuff like making a pyramid in a text console will teach you so much about programming.

thennnnn when you move on to javascript your life will change, as you are able to do the same things, but with less complications and less lines of code.

I bought "problem solving with c++" by walter savitch like 5 years ago and still refer to it periodically. You can probably pick up an old edition on abebooks.com for like 5$ plus shipping.

C++ primer is an excellent book to work with.
I'd also suggest browsing Google there is a ton of material to learn from.

You clearly are just an enthusiast then. You aren't a professional I take it. Because if you were you would be singing a different tune. The attitude you have towards beginners is part of the reason we have such shit developers in the professional field. Laying a foundation of bad habits does nothing but sabotage any chance of that beginner ever becoming anything spectacular.



+1 this. C++ C++ C++ C++ C++, it is not hard and saves you from doing the ghey gauntlet.

that was my c++ textbook for programming 1&&2 college courses online , if you read it and do the examples at the end of each section you will learn it , but like all programming books it's pretty think stuff and you will have to really want to get it done
it's a good book, very thorough and comes with an ereader type app.
if you arent serious theres another version without the last 3 chapters for like 20$ cheaper, but you will have a good foundation if you make it through this one, try and do a chapter a week except for the long ones
