no, the first thing you should look into is html and the second is css

c++ is a language to programme computer software, it has very little to do with web design

start here http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp

I would suggest learning php, as this is probably the easiest language to learn (imo),
I would suggest downloading xampp to help you. It is a programme that will install a local Apache server, Mysql database and php.

I agree that w3schools is a very good resource.

If you want a jump start in creating pages, take a look at a web code generator, you can learn by example. you can get dbQwikSite Personal Edition for free here: www.dbQwikSite.com
