Welcome to the world of programming :)

I see you have made a wise choice by choosing programming as your hobby. I do not know what the "BEST" advice is, but what i can recommend is

1) Get programming books from your library - you might want to learn a simple language first such as VB, and then move on to C\C++

2) Start with simple programs. Most books I have read have excercised at the end of each chapter to test what you have learned

3) Once you are comfortable writing small program on your own, make a little project for yourself, and make sure it involves the basics such as
- input
- writing\reading to files
- if statements, loops

4) Ask questions :) do not be afraid to ask for help when you get stuck - join #C or #C++ on mIRC - there are many friendly people in there willing to help

5) Don't give up, it gets easier with time and practice

Do not hesitate to ask any questions

The books from SAMS Pubilshing such as "TEach yourself C\C++ in 21 days" are not bad
