Does anyone have a suggestion for a good, very basic, starting book for Visual C++ ?

I have very limited programming knowledge, but I am motivated!

if i was you i would loose the visual part, visual c++ is windows specific, while of you learn C++ simply, you won't be limited by the platform you are developing on.

What Kyra said.

However, the Sams Publishing "Teach Yourself <language name> in x days" books are usually an effective stepping stone for absolute beginners relying on no outside programming tuition (at college, university, etc.) whatsoever.

Edit: I used one of those to learn Borland Delphi 2 back in 1996 .. which led me onto other OOP languages like C++, and to be honest, I've generally picked up the basics of most scripting and programming languages (Java, PHP, and even LSL) quite quickly since those days.
