The best place to start is a simple console Hello World example!!
The complicating factor in C/C++ is that there are a lot of different
"Toolkits" to learn for different Platforms
(MFC-Windows,Gtk-Gnome,ncurses;ptreads-Unix,QT-Kde etc...) mostly for GUI
development, so it depends on what you want to do..
I think the best book on C++ is the OReilly Book C++
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/cplus/ it assumes no programming experience,
and you don't need to get a "C" book first...
You can get free C compilers for windows here
http://www.thefreecountry.com/developercity/cc.html
*nix has a cc & gcc etc. as standard.
Also check out
http://cplus.about.com
and of course min's site for CFX examples :-) (www.intrafoundation.com)
It's a bit of a jump from CF , but after learning C++ you should be able to
master any language , Java CF Perl php, and JavaScript will all "make more
sense"
