The best start is to forget everything from VB except the basics of a programming language. Then get a book on plain C++, NOT Visual C++.
Browse the forum, there should be a lot of recommendations already.

You might also want to check your local library before going out and spending 70 bucks... I know that our library here has a pretty impressiev (for a library) programming section, so you might be able to find something =).
Hell, I think we threw out a couple of brand new C++ books that were dontated for some reason or another earlier this week.

If you can find Thinking in C++, I'd recommend it. (www.bruceeckel.com to get a free downloadable version)

I got (from the library)
c for dummies
c++ for dummies
and c++ weekend crash course
but they dont really help me out im getting frightened by all the code you must put in for just one simple dead window. Can anyone tutor me or something . I dont want to quit trying to learn it but thats what i feel like doing now. I also got a nice book on the guide to vb WIN32 API book. Its really thick and nice to read(lots of good info)

Windows == bad. You need to learn C++ before you even think about programming windows things.

Even masters of C and C++ are scared to death of the Windows API. It's not exactly pretty, or easy to use.

Not true at all... You just have to understand it...

It ain't pretty, though. It's *extremely* limiting sometimes.

I'm scared by COM (especially because docs are so hard to find), but not by the API.
