I think you are supposed to start by reading the Sticky for this forum " Programming Guides and Basics - Read Me First" (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1766253). Have you done that? What further help do you need?

This tutorial here (http://www.cplusplus.com/files/tutorial.pdf) explains the basics of the language.

I personally think the best way to learn c++ is to buy a book that is for beginners.
"Sams Teach Yourself C++ in One Hour a Day" is the book that I taught myself C++ with.

If you want a good primer/introduction I'd choose C++ Primer 4th Edition by Stanley Lippman. There is also a 5th edition out and it teaches C++11. It's much better than that Sams book. After that I'd probably go with Bjarne's book. The reason I'd choose Lippman's book over the Sams is because Lipmann has been heavily involved in C++ development since the early days at Bell Lab with Stroustrup. While I'm sure the Sams author isn't terrible, Lippman is a far better authority and a good author IMO. When you get sufficiently advanced also check out his book 'Inside the C++ Object Model' which is a bit dated by now but still highly informative.

As a final word of advice, avoid books by Herb Schildt like the plague. Despite his books proclaiming himself as some grand guru, his books are usually error-filled and poorly written.
