c++, learn it

Hello,I would like to start with C++..I know almost nothing about C ..post any links or book suggestions for C++ (for total newbies)

Thx.

Delphi or even Pascal are good to learn because they are simple enough, anal enough, yet orthodox and polite enough, and they are smaller. You don't want to start with a HUGE language and have to bother with buffered readers, class objects, pure functions, or whatever shit, all you need is a tool to help you get the way of programming into your head, then you can move on to do something useful.
