Make sure you get a powerfull IDE. Makes it a lot easier to code when you use lots of libraries.

In the old days, we would learn how to count in Hexadecimal and how to count in binary.  

In my old computer classes, the professor said that Machine language is chip specific or specific to the 68XXX of that machine.

You really have to learn how the chips work.
Well, you have to learn 2 things really:
How the hardware works, and how you set up a big program (with design patterns and documentation).
So, I'd recommend beginning with Pascal, then C and assembly, and then C++.
