I wouldn't suggest these forums, but your best bet would be a good c++ book or school. :)

If you're smart and/or experienced, you may find that school teaches it too slowly. Equivalently, if you're dumb/unexperienced, school might be too fast, but this is rare, since the people the schools usually hire as CS teachers (at least for the introductory courses) are often dumber than the students.

In those cases, a book would be better since it lets you progress at your own pace.

Bull!  Maybe in high school, but I have an awesome second/third year prof who specializes in Artificial Intelligence, especially in terms of teamwork, and when he's not teaching he's a part time comedian.  http://cs.umanitoba.ca/~andersj

I have yet to find a good school in ontario that has a teacher with a head on their shoulders and not in their ass.

hrmm, my sarcasim is really bad these days.

BCIT actually has computer corses that don't require much effect. Hell i got a passing grade in VB, and all i did was take shit from pscode.com (i will never learn vb)
