References for "classic" C programming are getting rather scarce, but the top
hit on google for "c++ tutorial", www.cplusplus.com looks like a good place to
start.  It begins with the basics, and only gets into object-oriented
programming in later chapters.  There are many other good links to be found
there as well:

You could also check Amazon or your local bookstore.  A few years back, you
couldn't spill a half-caf moccachino in Barnes and Noble without getting coffee
all over a few dozen "Teach Yourself C In 21 Days" style of books.  For
technical topics, any book published by O'Reilly Press is also highly
recommended.

And if you really get stuck, just post a question or code snippet here, and
you're likely to get some help.
