The Stanley Lippman book is a good tutorial.
Further study of the topic is from the Scott Meyers books, which are very clear and well-written.
Certainly on Windows, Visual Studio is popular.
Back during my 10 year stint doing C++, I held the opinion that it took on the order of two years of programming C++ full time to master the language. If you are looking for the full language, it is not clear that two years is adequate.
Ok, so my advice about COBOL. If you get stuck writing a lot of RPG, then COBOL is a good rescue. Otherwise, it thought to cause brain damage, and is best to be avoided.
