Try to use more than one tutorial. Look at the tutorial on this website and c++ in 21 days tutorial. If you don't understand a concept from one tutorial then look at the same subject from another tutorial. They will both teach you the same thing but will word it in a way which might make more sence than the other one. Also read threw the first few chapters of the tutorials and then start a project that is slightly above your knowledge level. Then look at what the tutorials say and try incorporating the code into your project. I found that just going threw the tutorials didn't help much because i would just copy and paste the code, then move to the next chapter before i really knew what was going on. If your making your own project then you will have to understand what is going on to add more advanced code.
I've probably been programming in c++ for over a year. I never really sat down and decided to learn stuff though. I would just program when i was in the mood to, which wasn't very often.
