Yeah. Thinking in C++ is the book for becomming a C++ programmer from scratch.
If you're already fairly competent in Java, Mark Allan Weiss's C++ for Java programmers is also good.
Maybe even a reference manual like C++ in a Nutshell?
As for the tutorials, I wouldn't really know, since I'm more inclined towards OpenGL, but I hear the ones that ship with the SDK are as good as any you'll find (which unfortunately doesn't say much).

what a mess c is :)
Rubbish. C is wonderful. C++ is the problem. Actually OpenGL supported games are slow on some computer that are meant to play applications fast.
I think you have that the other way around.
