Not sure if this is the best place to put this, but anyway...
Where is the best place to start for someone who wants to learn how programming works? I mean, extreme beginners. I did a 'Hello World' in C about 7 years ago, and I can't remember how to do that anymore - that basic. This is just something I want to do for fun in my own time, I've no real intention to start coding apps seriously (though that would be nice once I get to that point), I simply want to learn and understand.
I gather C++ is the best place to start these days? As I understand it, it seems to make more sense than 'unlearning' the higher level languages later on at any rate. If people agree with this, can anyone recommend a book, or a place to get started?
