Thread: C++ programmer as my career.

I'm currently a web designer/programmer and I started to learn C when I was about 14 or 15, it's good to get a handle on this stuff early before you head off to college. So props on getting started young.

C++ is a really nice language, but you should start with something easier. Once you learn one language, it's easier to learn others. Generally speaking, most programming languages work the same way with tiny differences in syntax, functions, etc.

I'd start with HTML, JavaScript and maybe PHP. They're all web languages and I know you have dialup, but that shouldn't be a huge barrier to learning them. Perl is a nice one too (and it can be coded offline). It's one of the most powerful and easiest to learn languages out there IMO. Check that out.
