Can you give an advise

[vladibo]

Can you give an advise for a book to start with, learning C++ for Microsoft if I have good background in Java and C# with .NET

I haven't read it personally, but I've heard that Accelerated C++ by Koenig and Moo is good. Since you have a background in OOP already, I would think you would be comfortable jumping right in to the C++ part of C++ (as opposed to the C part of C++).

I think the best way to C++ language is the famous Stroustrup's book (for MS or *nix or both). Then add Grady Buch's book. Then (or in sharing mode) see MSDN articles about needed parts of Windows environment.
I have read some Windows-oriented C++ books. There were many Windows and not enough C++...
