I need to learn both in a relatively short amount of time. If you know any tut's, or can just tell me basics, that'd be great.

(I've looked for some tut's, and I couldn't find anything basic.)

Thanks.

I highly, highly recommend Bruce Eckel's (free!) online books called Thinking in C++. There are two volumes.
I'm too lazy to use Google for you.

What programming/scripting languages do you already know? What level of knowledge are you looking for? If this is your first language, you should expect to spend a pretty significant chunk of time learning the basics of programming in general, and maybe 5-10 years to get to the point where you can sit down alone and write something roughly as complicated as MS Paint in a few days. On the other hand, if you're currently a master of Java or something like that, you can probably get to that level in a day or two. In any case, more knowledge about where you're at and where you want to be would make it easier to help you find the best path.
