I want to learn C++ for windows but have no idea where to start; there seem to be so many different technologies that have utterly confused me: Win32, MFC, ATL, STL etc. I know a good deal of C# and Java, no C and a small amount of ANSI C++ (datatypes, loops, classes and OOP), but when I look at other people's code or try to mess around ...
