Pointers for a learner.

[Dextrous192]

Hi to all that read this. I'm new to the forum and programming.
I've been looking about online for sites books with exercises and whatnot though haven't had much luck finding anything to my level.
If anyone could name some books or sites that would be great, I'm a total beginner and I've had using C++ for dummies, didn't know where else to start :\

Thanks in advance to anyone who reads and/or posts a reply.
