When you first started C++ were you really confused?
I've started reading the "whos afraid of c++?" guide on this site and so far i'm on lesson 9 and I get some of it but alot of it is confusing and I can't remember much of what is what... even though I take notes on it.

Should I try something simpler like VB, or visualc++ first or should I try and keep going?
Whenever I look at examples of source code my head explodes ._.

I know i'll have to eventually learn it for making games and bigger application projects...
