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?

Even in this age with all our understanding and new tools, people are still choosing to use C++. To me, that sounds like C++ has real merits - development teams choose C++ over other languages.
