Well done!
I also started out with C++ many years back and I felt that it was a great advantage when I later started to program in Python. But for someone learning to programme now, I wonder if it is a good approach. Would feel like a big burden. :)
But I think Step 1 is extremely important. Getting a good understanding of this before jumping into programming language specifics is important.

For the end of your post, maybe reduce the amount of BOLD CAPS. It looks a bit aggressive. ;)
