Looking for some help opening the door

[Pojky]

I am looking to learn c++ for the purpose of video game development. I have a entry level understanding of HTML/HTML5 CSS3 and JavaScript.

I am currently using a mac book pro retina and Xcode. (I'm willing to use a different IDE if suggested)

While most of the information i'm looking for is spread across the void which is the internet these days. I was wondering if anyone knew a book or online resource that helps teach C++ for the purpose of video game development.

Long term goal: 2d jrpg style game

Short Term goal: Move a 2d sprite around a tiled background.

Thanks in advance.

Learn C++ first and a graphics library, like SFML.
As fro books, have you tried "Beginning C++ Game Programming" I have not read it but it looks good, especially if you are still learning C++.
