I'm New at this

Hello fellow coders. I am a 12 year old computer enthusiast (or geek as people tend to call it) and would like to take up learning this language. Right now I am installing visual C++. I know basic python strings. Any tips on what to do and where to find good tutorials?

I wouldn't bother with tutorials, a good book will teach you much better.
Some options are "Principles and Practice Using C++" or the C++ Primer (4th edition).
"Thinking in C++" isn't bad either and it has the advantage of being freely available on the net.

Best way to learn code is to make code. Check out this article:

Just start making things and using the different resources around you to help you do it.

Remember this idea:

C++ is a language. Just like Spanish, French or English, the best way to learn a language is by using it.
