If you are just starting out to program, I would learn just straight C rather then C++. C++ throws so much extra at you, it isn't the best language to learn in if you have no object orientated experience.

Start off with console DOS apps first, learning the use of variables, functions, loops, conditional/switch statements then moving to more advanced material such as macros, standard coding techniques etc, coding patterns.

After that, you next move will either involve learning SDL/Allegro (or another graphics API) or C++ along with object orientated programming.

First stop gamedev.net. They should enough links to get you going however nothing beats a good (e)book.
