Can anyone suggest a good tutorial/Book/Ebook for a beginner in C++? I just finished the quite lengthy installation process and ready to begin my learning adventure.
I found 'C++ From Scratch' (http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0789720795/ref=sr_aps_books_1_2/026-4793505-0034022) quite useful. I've learned most of what I know from practice, asking people or reading tutorials, though. It was a good book for picking up the syntax, but i didn't use it much after that.
yes accualy, its an online book kinda thingy, havn't look at it in detail, but the index seems to be extensive:
this one is the best, i think and should have everything you need. But most importantly, ITS FREE :):

A Complete Guide To Programming In C++ (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0763718173/qid=1070596278/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/104-0186633-4199163?v=glance&s=books) - I bought this book shortly after it came out, it's very easy to understand (although I had some previous programming experience with perl). The English is a little broken in some places (it's written by two Germans) but that aside it's a great tutorial.
