I've been programming (as a hobby only) for a couple of years and still am learning -although at much slower pace (day time job). I was fascinated with C++, I got every book at the library I could, looked online for a free compiler (Codeblocks compiler is one I use) and started coding. I must admit that the hardest part in starting in C++ is getting the compiler to work (more specifically setting up the compiler). Then I think the next hurdle would be understanding pointers and how to use them. Also I had a difficult time with Classes. Anyway if there is a total beginner out there reading this the point is start programming, read books, use search engines, forums,etc and guaranteed you will learn it.
