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 Fortran. To me, that sounds like Fortran has real merits - development teams choose Fortran over other languages.

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

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