Not everyone will get it right away, which is forgivable, but there will be less few who will practice it after class. I didnt know shit about programming, and we started right away with c++, and I just dont know how I got C in that class. Now, well, i can't say i'm hardcore pro, but if I need to get something done i'm confident enough to find a solution. I was completely disgusted with object-oriented programming, and I got an A in calculus two (taylor series bullshit and all that), math didnt really prepare me. Experience and long frustrating nights debugging, only to find out i had a ";" instead of ":" did. For most of us, the non-gifted coders, how good you are at something is determined by how hard and for how long you're willing to work at it.
One of the things that make learning a language the hardest is the syntax. C++ syntax grew natural to me AFTER 2 years I took the class. Relatively simple and clear syntax really helps at first, its my reason to explain why so many begginers hate java. I think personally ruby is a good starting language, because shifting from function-based style to object oriented is more clean on its syntax, but I regret that it's just not as powerful as C... There will be something better one day.
