Just been looking at a few other languages. Apparently visual basic.net is
one of the easiest to learn for beginners. MS have a free program for
enthusiasts (visual basic express) to use and also have other free stuff to
help you learn. Just downloading it now, see how "easy" it is :-)

Visual basic is bloody awful.

C++ has a steep learning curve, lot's of gotchas and confusion for the
learner. You'd be better off taking Chris's advice and learning C# so as to
learn the Object Oriented stuff easier. Games don't get written in proper
OO as it'd be too slow but you need to know about classes etc.

Then when you migrate to C++ a lot of what would have confused you isn't as
difficult. It will still be difficult mind just not as confusing.
