Basic C++ tutorials (windows apps)

[scroots]

Does anyone know any really good C++ tutorials for making windows applications for a beginner. I can do javascript and php if that is any use.

As in my quest to learn C++ for making windows apps i cannot find any good tutorials, and as i thought we all have to start somewhere, so i thought i'd ask.

Is it worth getting a book? my mate said having a book is cool as you can read it anywhere.

So what do you all reccomend.

http://www.ultimategameprogramming.com - visited this one thisafternoon looking for vertex and pixel shader stuff.

Used to be a decent site here (http://gamecoding.org.uk/) that looked okay but seems to have been hacked off or summit http://silverpaw3d.com/smilies/dunno.gif

Win API tutorial: Sunlight (http://sunlightd.com/Windows/GUI/)
How to work with resources and stuff:Foosyerdoose (http://www.foosyerdoos.fsnet.co.uk/) (BTW: if anyone knows what Foosyerdoose means, let me know :D )
You can also learn alot by looking at source code, the one I use the most is Planet Source Code (http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/default.asp?lngWId=3) sometimes they are very slow but they have alot

>>Is it worth getting a book?
I think so yes. I can recomend Programming Windows by Charles Petzold ISBN-1-57231-995-X
