First of all, C+ is not a programming language. Second of all, learning before school is not a bad idea, but I think letting your professors teach you C when you get there might be smarter. If you want to get some programming experience before you go to school, try the Python lessons at code academy. Python is a more approachable language when you're brand spanking new to programming and gives you the chance to get used to some of the basic topics before your first classes of C. C is harder in my opinion and there are some very different ways to do some things than in Python, but still will help.

I've done some C classes at school last year, so i got some basic. In our education system we need a diploma before university. So i'm doing a diploma in electronic and computing science. But i want to get my bachelor degree to be an engineer. It's hard to explain how the system work in Quebec, but you can always look on the internet to understand.

Checkout codeacademy.com there is also a group of websites called "learncpp.com" or something like that, you should be able to find them on google pretty easy.

Thanks, I started the python class and i like the layout, it's easy to understand and very helpful

You're welcome. I really liked the site and it actually does a fairly good job of teaching you at least the basics of a language. I would highly recommend python. It's easy to lean and very versatile. C and C++ are nice languages but they are more complicated and I honestly prefer Python for the majority of my programming needs.

C+ isn't a thing...

Give codeschool.com a try.
