Here is a link to an e-book for learning C++

http://newdata.box.sk/bx/c/index.htm

This is the best lesson plan that I have found for beginners and recommend it strongly

not only does it teach C++

but it teaches programming concepts

which is much more important than the language itself

to any beginning programmer...

this is an awesome newbie book

once you complete it just ask about Win32 API (Windowed apps programming in C++) and graphics in C++

Then you will get some good tutorials on those
