I would recommend a trip to your local library, where you should be able
to 'download' a book from one of the shelves that will give you the
basics. Trying to start via a website would be doomed to failure because:

a) Looking at a computer screen numbs the mind, and,

b) You will spend many frustrating hours trying to find a webpage
general enough for your needs.

One possibility would be www.mindview.net, where you can download
_Thinking in C++_ volumes 1 and 2.

That's interesting. Do you have any evidence to support this?

Start programming from where? From no ability to program at all?
Or having programmed in another lang and you want to pick up C++?
Or some other?

If you've never done any programming at all, let me recommend that
you take some college level courses. Programming is a *HUGE* topic.
At the very least, get yourself some community college level training.
The summer semester should be starting any time now.

If you've worked in other languages, then I suggest _Accelerated C++_
by Koenig and Moo. Wonderful book.

After that, it depends on where you want to go and what area you
want to program.

Hmm...what I´d be interested in is how you´re going to develop software if
you´re not going to look at a screen? :-)

Actually, I've written quite a bit of software without looking at
a screen. Mostly COBOL and FORTRAN. A long time ago. Those machines
didn't *have* screens (or keyboards). I wrote my code with a pencil.

What makes a good C/C++ programmer? Would you be surprised if I told you that it has almost nothing to do with your knowledge of C or C++? There isn't much difference in productivity, for example, between a C/C++ programmers with a few weeks of experience and a C/C++ programmer with years of experience. You don't really need to understand the subtle details or use the obscure features of either language
