Hello, not so long ago I started learning Delphi, after three or four months I didn’t know much, wrote a parser, learned how to work with archives (via 7zip and WinRAR), now I want to switch to C or C ++.
The plans are to learn how to work with the network, write a couple of utilities for working with the system.
Could you tell me where to start, what language, IDE to choose for these purposes, what literature is worth reading (preferably in Russian).
Most of all, probably, I want to get away from dragging forms and buttons.
The question was not created for the sake of holivar.

Try python instead of c/c++. Both system utilities and networking are implemented in python quite conveniently. And you can completely get away from form-slapping.
c / c ++ after delphi will seem scary to you because of the dynamics, pointers and other things.

And what is the goal?
I don't really understand what "go" means. Know and use several tools. If you're going to stop learning Delphi and move on to learning C and C++, you need to justify this step somehow. It may turn out that you will neither know the old instrument well, nor the new two.
Of course, C and C++ are worth knowing and using. The choice of IDE depends on your operating system, for Windows it will be Microsoft Visual Studio.

On Delphi work with a network from what version became suddenly impossible?
Also, there are many components for ANY task... There are imports of C/C++ libraries...
You can do anything...
You do it (I hope?))

For starters, you can try Pelles IDE, very convenient and simple. In it, you can start with simple programs. And read this book: Deitel "How to Program in C++".

Read about how to link tables https://habrahabr.ru/post/193380/
In this case, the relationship is many to one - many users have the same group.
Sample query to get users and group name.

SELECT u.id, u.name, g.name AS group_name FROM user AS u LEFT JOIN user_group AS g ON g.id = u.id
