You need to learn three languages to learn computer programming.
Teach yourself Python, Ocaml and C++. Start with Python, proceed
to Ocaml and finish with C++.

Do not start with C++ as the first language. It has a large
gray area of undefined behaviour, and once you operate within
the area of undefined behaviour, your iterative learning process
will be slowed down.
