What API library are you going to use? if you're using SFML then read this book (by the way i highly recommend SFML if you're just starting out with game development) http://www.amazon.com/SFML-Game-Development-Jan-Haller/dp/1849696845 (The book is really great though it does require you to know all the basics of C++ including certain advanced topics such as templates)

Have fun! ;)

cheers people, i was leaning towards SDL or DirectX (only because the manual examples are in DirectX) but DirectX is the devil for a noob like me to work with.

il head off and check out SFML, thanks for the input,
