If your want to learn C++, you might want to read "Beginning C++ 5" by Ivor Horton, or "Mastering C++" don't know author.
I'm using the first myself, and its pretty good for the basics, unluckly if you want to just jump in and program a tetris clone or something, it isn't that great with teaching how to handle graphics. It seems to show more on how to use objects, pointers, loops, and arrays. Until you know that though programming graphics is just making bitmaps anyway.

Hope you get into it, it can be real fun as long as you go with your ideas.
