The best book I know of to get you writing useful C++ quickly is
Accelerated C++ by Koenig/Moo. It's not free online, though. It
starts with an excellent introduction to using the STL and works
it's way slowly down the abstraction ladder to using pointers and
inheritance last of all.

Iterators turn out to be an excellent starting point for learning
pointers, though since you already know C that won't do you as
much good.
