Deitel and Deitel puts out a good book.

I used Walt Savitch's when I was learning it.

That depends on what you mean by "visual c++". If you want to learn Win32 API, that is different than if you want to learn MFC. For actual development, MFC is much better, but just win32 is better for knowledge of what is going on at a low level, as well as some other programs like games. I learned Win32 just by looking at samples and simple game code after learning MFC, so I can't recommend a book for that. If you want to learn MFC, I would not recommend it. It's definately on its way out, if it is used by software developers anymore at all. Windows development is largely being done in C# now, as it is about the same execution speed and has a much greater productivity. C++ is a good language for many things, but after a couple years experience with MFC, I would have to say that Windows development isn't one of them. It isn't the worst you could use, but it is certainly not the best either. If all you're interested in is Windows programming, do yourself a favor and learn C# instead so you will have knowledge that will be more useful in the future, especially in the business world.

I advise you to read the book written by Bjarne Stroustrup, the author of C++.
