Want to learn programming properly

[quotidian]

Just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction about this.

I've done abit of programming before, bit of html with limited javascript for a simple website and some python (although I didn't really like it) and then I tied a bit of c# but I found it difficult to work around the visual forms coding so my code was pretty fragemnted.

I'm thinking on trying c++ , I had like an intro class on it over the summer at an engineering / computer science experience day and seemed to understand most of it, although I know a bit about arrays I don't really know how to use them.

Would C++ be a good language and has anyone got any good tutorials / series for it or any other suggestions?

Thanks guys, I was thinking about maybe working towards making an onscreen calculator with gui as something to sort of focus on as I learning, nothing too complex just like ms calc with a few extra functions.

Maybe start with C and just program it into a command line app and then move onto C++ and add a gui with Visual C++?
