Take your time and start with a small dmod. Mabey write it in chapters, and the first chapter uses only simple commands.
Then here is a good free c++ tut.

And these guys offer a free compiler,

But Dinkc is the best start.
<edit>
Did I forget to mention be patient? Your intrest in programing makes it inevitable that you will learn it. But notice all big programs are written by larger groups of people. It takes time. Thats why I say try starting with smaller chapter dmods.
It was my biggest mistake to start with a large one because even after working on it for a couple years I still don't have the statisfacion of seeing it complete and enjoyed by others. But I always seem to come back to it....
