I think your choice for a first book comes down to two 'Accelerated C++'
by Koenig and Moo (which assumes some programming experience or some
natural talent for the subject, and sticks strictly to Standard C++ and
pure console applications but is OS independent) or my book (which
assumes you really know nothing, uses Standard C++ but supplements it
with a small graphics and general support library. All the software you
need comes with the book, but it assumes you are using a Windows based
PC)
Neither book focuses on OOP because I think all three authors believe
that you first need a solid foundation in C++ programming before
focusing on a specific paradigm.
Of course you will have to allow for my being biased:-)
