I tend to just surf the web, and get massive compilor errors. I did browse that deitle book awhile, but what really helped me was *gasp* VC++. As much as i dislike microsoft, the interface is rather nice. The compilor is another issue (i dont hate the compilor, i just have a few qualms about it). Also, big projects are a great way to learn. I taught myself OpenGL via a series of projects (ported SFCave from 2d palm screen to 3d win32, made pong clone, break-out clone, etc). From there i went on to make an mp3 player with crappy vis thing. Now i am doing winsock stuff. Key is to set goals. THat and visit nehe.gamedev.net, fmod.net and tangentsoft.net
good luck
