Learning C++

OK guys I need to learn this shit, for mathematical modelling, as I'm hoping for a career in quantative finance.

So what's a good place to start (textbooks, websites, etc)? I should note that I'm pretty inexperienced with programming in general. 

Any other general protips?

Its true that a lot of games are written in C++. It turns out that just about every game I play is written in pure C. (I can tell by the SDKs and by looking at the symbol tables.)
