I'm looking at the "for dummies" range of books, there is a C++ and a Programming one, would you recommend getting both?

I'd recommend the Programming one... even if it teaches another language(I don't know if it does..).
After a good idea about what to expect from programming (which will be quite different compared to what you're probably used to; from computers), picking up C++(at least the basics) will be quite easy .
