i would apply caution when using c++/openframeworks, as you can easily damage both your hearing and your hardware. that's mainly if you're doing straight up audio synthesis programming though.
supercollider is nice, but has a high learning curve, especially if you're not familiar with a super functional/lambda(y) type of language (programming in smalltalk is great, but it takes a while to get the knack of). if you're thinking of going this route, you should also check out chuck

and impromptu
http://impromptu.moso.com.au/max/msp is a good place to start (personally, its not my thang), mainly because it plays nicely with other applications/protocols.
main piece of advice (for a laptop user): pump up the volume to a high level, plug in headphones and wear them around your neck. that way you'll protect your ears and hardware.
