You can get C or C++ tutorials on the web. If you know C++ then the Game Programing Genisis on this site is a good place to start.
But here are some C++ sites:

And I really really really recomned this book:
Begining C++ game programming by Michale Dawson.
If you are interested in making games with BASIC, goto darkbasic.com. Dark BASIC is a powerful version of BASIC that uses directX. Dark Basic pro has all the tools you need to make a game, but lacks the sheer OOP power and flexibilty of C++.

This page might help. You'll probably find C/C++ is very widely used (especially as most online tutorials and books are written with them in mind). There are plenty of other popular languages though, including Java, C# and BASIC.

PAN NARRANS........i read some of those articles and the first game they say to make is tetris so i want to know which language is best for that,if basic is fine please tell me......and 1 other question which should i learn first C or C++,the article "C or C++?" said to use C first becasue its not OO do u guys agree??????
Any programming language you can use to make tetris. Basic is much simplier to make it since its basic and you don't know C++/SDL or any other API's.
So, go with Basic.
