Java and C++ are both C-based languages, but that is about where the similarities end. You will find that many languages are C-based which can help in learning other languages, but can also cause a bit of confusion when moving between languages.

Being a good programmer is all about understanding logic and how to approach what you want done.

As others have said, once you learn C you can pretty much learn any other (decent, modern) language.

Learn C first. Why you'd want to watch a video on programming is beyond me, unless it was a walkthrough on how to set up your IDE (e.g. Visual Studio).

This is why you would want to watch a video on programming.

If there is a whole series of these on linked lists, arrays, etc, they might actually be worth watching if you're new to programming.

I watched without sound, but that video actually explains pointers better than how I was initially taught (confusingly, by a bad professor, lol)

Oddly enough, my very good CS professor used this video as an introduction to pointers before he started to teach them.
