Where do I go in C++? I know basic stuff but there is not that much good stuff out there? Preferably online free tutorials.

I'd suggest getting a book over online tutorials
My fav books are the Addison Wessley series.

If you don't want to go out and buy a few books, then I'd suggest finding an ebook version somewhere. They are definately a whole lot better than anything I've read online. Plus, they teach you from the beginning and get more advanced as you read, so you always know that you haven't overlooked anything leading up to the chapter you're on.

I don't know how advanced you are right now, but they have books ranging in topics from beginning C++ to advanced template metaprogramming.

I'd suggest any book by the following authors:
Bjarne Stroustrup
Herb Sutter
Stanley B. Lippman
Scott Meyers

That'll give you quite a few good choices to start with. Basically what I do is try and get as many C++ ebooks as I can possibly manage. I have one CD and one DVD of reference .pdf's and .chm's that I keep with me most of the time. Books ranging from programming languages, design patterns, operating systems, networking, security, etc...

Other than books, I'd say take up a night class or something at a local institute or find some kind of a mentor to work with.

There are a lot of ways to improve your skills, and at some point you won't need to rely on books anymore as you'll know the language well enough that a quick msdn search will get you out of most troubles.

...that's another good place to go is the Microsoft MSDN site and look through documentation and examples. MSDN is getting better all the time, but I find it rather bothersome to search through things and I don't much care for their examples....but anything is better than nothing.

Show us some of your stuff so we can see how far along you are. One of the things that makes C++ tricky to learn is that you can achieve results without really understanding the language.
