You can start learning C++ with these video tutorials:

They are perfect for beginners. This one can get you started by showing you how to install a free compiler:

Here are some simple games with code downloads that you can use to get some ideas:

These tutorials can get you started with graphics programming in OpenGL:

You can go through the tutorials and if you have questions on them or anything else in C++, please post to me here:

I'd give Python another shot. It is a very easy language to learn, very powerful and full featured. It comes with an interactive shell for all platforms. The interactive shell also makes it easier to learn the language as you can get immediate results when you type in a statement.

You can pretty much do anything with it. I'd like to know what your problem with Python was.

If you already know HTML then you should pick up on PHP.  PHP is very easy to learn, you don't have to compile c**p, and its just all around fun.  There are TONS of tutorials online if you search, the best one being PHP's official website, http://www.php.net

It can also help build up your web skills.

Answer 4

Maybe you can learn Visual Basic, it is easy and fun to learn.

I found one interesting site at

http://www.vbtutor.net

It provides free Visual Basic tutorial, including the latest VB2008.

Answer 5

I was using http://www.w3schools.com/ for HTML/CSS/JavaScript, but found it too full on and hard for PHP someone on here recommended http://www.tizag.com/ i am only on 5th page, but found it so much easier already.
