I know, it's sad... wish I had time to learn. Which is why I thought paying someone to do it would be the best option for now.
Which in itself is a good idea - this the wrong platform, as it's global and you're looking for someone local.
Anyway if programming as such has your interest, maybe you should try learning Python first. It's very often used as first teaching language, and much easier to learn than a low-level language as C++ as there's a lot that the interpreter takes care of (memory management, variable types, etc).
The moment you understand the basic concepts of programming, it's pretty easy to learn other languages.
