Hi. Just thought I'd mention - if you're after a really neat little IDE for your coding, have a look at Geany ( http://geany.uvena.de/ ). I use it all the time.
It has a beautifully simple and clean design and appearance and can be customised easily (including nice touches like allowing you to have large buttons on the toolbar). It also has very few dependencies. Well worth a look. Another one is OpenLDev (http://www.openldev.org). Good luck with the coding!

I'd say first things first: Get a good grip on C++. As a personal advice: stay away from Herbert Schildt. I'd recommend you fetch Accelerated C++.
