Indications are that C++ programming is most useful for game design, having to do with it being 'object-oriented'. I came across a couple of tutorials, but they're quite dry- however I did find a series of introductory computer science video lectures from Harvard's CS 50 course, and this may be a better way for me to start.

And on further inspection, this site actually hosts a ton of full courses! Very useful.
You also might want to check out MIT's "Open Course Ware" for video lectures, assignments including software packages to support them and a bunch of other stuff. They have almost all their courses up. I'm planning to learn Python from them

Yeah, the CS 50 Harvard course actually begins with Scratch 1.4, a click-and-drag programming platform developed by MIT. Thanks for the MIT resource, I'll look over this too!
