Do you have any programming experience in other languages ?

Find and read Kernighan & Ritchie's Bible, and uh. . . why C not C++?

QVM's are in C, as is all of tremulous.  C++ is (mostly) a superset of C so learning C first is probably easier.
And it's hard to learn, impossible if you try to learn with tremulous or any other equally convoluted and complex codebase.

Well I suppose... (oh not idk, I was taught C deliberately...) llook for a person who'll spend his/her time explaining the basics to you. Reading books you'll know most of the stuff, but you 're likely to know more learning on others' mistakes ;)
