Wow, learning programming and a foreign language at the same time.

I'd like to make a slightly self-serving remark by suggesting that if you're serious about learning to program in C++, you should start with this book, which my wife and I wrote, or this book, which she wrote by herself (or, more accurately, rewrote from the previous edition, which in turn she rewrote from the edition before that, which in turn two other people wrote).

Provided you've got an iPad there are some pretty good classes on iTunes U.

Stanford have a good range on there, starting with Programming Methodology and then moving on to more advanced ones. You get videos of all the lectures plus all the course notes and assignments - only thing missing is the tutor to mark your assignments and answer any questions.

I'd really recommend starting with learning the fundamentals of programming, rather than just learning how to code a specific language.

There's a couple of different programming courses on Coursera as well.
I started with Computer Science 101 by Nick Parlante, and now following "Learn to Program: The Fundamentals" and "An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python". These are both Python classes, and the latter one is using simple games as a basis.

Put it on soundcloud.

Not really, the "sheets" are english oriented due to english domination for code programming... but yes, some of them had Spanish and other had Catalan (more similar to French than Spanish).

so spanish, french and catalan and c++ in one go

a veritable polymathic undertaking

Coursera, excelllent idea!

ark, thats impressive as hell

thanks all! checked Basic Programming for Dummmies out of the library, just for those very basic concepts, i might just need to read it too

got Unity installed, they are going to try to create the concept theyve been working up in Blender-Unity , and take it from there
