I just heard that C++ is a good language so I wanna take a shot at it.

If you've programmed before, C++ is a great language.

If you've never coded before, I recommend starting with something easier.

That doesn't really go in depth.

I already finished it anyway  

Learn about the datastructures it offers and how to use them.

I first learned Python, then C, then C++. If you already know programming basics then I suggest starting with C and then moving into C++. I use Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 with the ReSharper extension. I believe Visual Studio has a few tutorials on its front page that you can follow to better understand the program. I learned everything from my university classes though, so I don't know of any websites you can visit to learn how to code in C/C++.

I learned C++ by picking up a really big book about it from the library. There are online tutorials these days but books are good for getting a broad introduction to a topic.

I think what makes C++ "hard" is that there are so many features in it, but you don't have to learn all of them right away in order to be useful.

The last time I used a book to learn (Java), the code itself didn't work. For Python, we have to hard code it, because the relative path doesn't work the same way with any operating system (like /images/this.png).

Long story short, books aren't the best choice and compatability is our fear.
