I'd suggest getting familiar with BYOND first and then moving on to C after you've mastered the basic ideas of programming. Probably 95% of the experience you gain with BYOND will be directly applicable when you move on to C's complexity.
I will guarantee that if you learn BYOND before learning C/C++, you will be a much better C/C++ programmer.
