Hi!
I am a super newbie.
I know exactly nothing about programming, using c++.
So, what would be the best tutorial, book or ebook to start with ?
Thanks!

Those 'Learn C in 24 Hours" books are pretty good.

Heh, thats just C :). There is a difference between learning a programming language and learning how to program. To know how it works is different then to know how to use it ;).

So, in this book is described, what specific command lines do?
If so, this is, in my oppinion, a good start, because thats the thing I wanted to know first!

You could also try http://www.codewarrioru.com/
They have a lot of good tutorials on various languages.
You have to register, but it doesn't take long, and it's free.
I learned a good majority of the C and C++ languages from this site.
And if you are going to learn C, one book you should probably pick up is
The C Programming Language by Brian W. Kernighan. It's a small, but in-depth book that give you all you need to know about the C language.

See tepples FAQ in the Beginners' forum, it address where to start.
I found the comp.lang.c faq quite useful when I first started. I'll still go back an look at it if I need to. The book I learned from is
Practical C Prgramming
