mostly c++ is console programming, if you want "buttons" and other such forms of GUI (Graphical User Interface). I'd suggest Java or Visual Basics even though you can do more with the GUI in C++ it is a lot harder to do.
a nice java tutorial can be found here

you must get a compiler for all of these.
for c++ (for free) I'd suggest looking up for GCC though it can be relativley complicated to setup. For Java look around Suns website and notepad/textpad.
If you are willing to drop money for c++, or heavens forbid you pirate microsoft software, I'd suggest going and getting visual studio 6.

and a few others. I have decided that, if Admin is OK with it, on Thursdays and Fridays I'll start an IRC chat room to teach people basic console programming in C/C++. Though before coming I'd suggest pirating a copy of Visual Studio 6 or getting a copy of GCC and figuring out how to connect it with ScITE. Which mite I say, can be a very difficult task.
Edit:
If you are interested, reply with a post that is equivallent to "I'm in".
Thank you,
