book or tutorial recommendations?

Greetings. I've been programming for quite a while now, avoiding C/C++ at
all costs. For reasons I won't go into, I've decided to learn it (them?).
I have a strong handle on most programming concepts. I am relatively fluent
in the following languages: C#, CIL, VB.NET, VB6.

I have done several online beginner tutorials for C++ and found them to be
rather easy to understand. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find many
tutorials that go into intermediate concepts, like why the hell I would ever
need a pointer to a void pointer (the most notable part of a piece of code I
saw).

Can anyone recommend a book or online tutorial that introduces intermediate
concepts in a way that encourages you to generate your own code from the
concepts taught?

Maybe that's wishful thinking... how about just "Can anyone recommend a book
or online tutorial that introduces intermediate concepts?".

Thanks in advance!

C++ intermediate concepts?
Have you looked at Stroustrup's "The C++
Programming Language"? It covers a lot of
ground, ranging from beginner's C++ up to
design issues. And it's very readable.
Thanks in advance!
