If the courses are any good, you'll get feedback, and you'll be paced

I first thought a book on C would be best, because the OS is written in

A decent school will start you with C as an introduction to programming
then teach you basic C++ (you write your own abstract data types).

This doesn't answer your C++ part of the question, but you should have

get something like C A Reference Manual (Latest edition is 5th I think)

If you just want to start programming in FreeBSD, Learn C as well as you
can. The route I took was learning basic programming skills then reading
The C Programming Language by KR, it's an excellent book if you
