Mike,

Programming in C++ is an unnatural act, and anyone who could successfully start with it would be not quite human, IMO.

I'd recommend Python [named after Monty], which is much simpler but also very powerful.

You can get it free, with documentation, from:

python.org

The Python Programming Language

Python® is a dynamic object-oriented programming language that can be used for many kinds of software development. It offers strong support for integration with other languages and tools, comes with extensive standard libraries, and can be learned in a few days. Many Python programmers report substantial productivity gains and feel the language encourages the development of higher quality, more maintainable code.
