The tutorials at http://cprogramming.com are quite good, they cover a range of things. They helped me alot back in the day and are still usefull now as reference.

Good luck.

I book i found very usefull was 'Beginning C++ Game Programming' by Micheal Dawson. It starts at the bottom and works it's way up. You don't have to know any C++ do use this book

I have C++ for dummies which is pretty good, but id agree that http://cprogramming.com is one of the best free online tutorials.

Irrlicht is an engine which (as you know many languages already you should understand what im about to say) is basically just a compilation of funtions that you can use to make making a game easier.

So to really use Irrlicht well to make a good game, you need to know C++, because you cant make a game just by using the functions really.

http://www.cplusplus.com/. I suggest going to your local overstock store or library and checking out some books there. Books really are a lot better than tuturials.

Firstly you must realise programmings not all fun and games 60% of your time will be spent debugging and finding whats wrong with your program. I really suggest getting a certificate with a uni / organisation. A couple hundred dollars will take you through the entire language step by step.

^^ all true though personally I spend about 90% of my time debugging.

Heres another good site... its nice when you see things like data types, new and delete, namespaces, etc. and want to learn more about them.
