What? C++ code is converted to C? Which compiler are you using, and why the hell would a compiler do this? I would definitely recommend to start with assembly. It gives you a good understanding of the hardware, and every programming language you learn afterwards will be a piece of cake. Then get a good reference (some have already been mentioned) and start coding a real program right away, skip that boring "hello world" stuff. I learned seven programming languages in five months with this method.
