C++ tutorial?

just wanted someone's opinion on this. Anyone know a good book, or site that I could learn C++ from? i was planning to do a game dev project soon, and I wanted C++ to be the language I'll build it with..uh...thanks. 8D!

I agree with >>11.

Just what kind of games can you write in Ruby anyway? Tic Tac Toe? Interactive Fiction? Yet another cheesy web game?

There aren't that many genres that don't require some degree of performance. Not that many people in the windows world have Ruby installed on their machine either (nor OSX, nor many *nix installs), which is what, 99.5% of the market?
