Are there any good sites for learning C++/COM from the ground up? I'm looking for something like a crash course with perhaps two weeks' worth of content.
The course can assume knowledge in standard C/C++, or at least not a complete dummy.

Get started with C. Official C documentation - Might be hard to follow and understand for beginners. Visit official C Programming documentation. Write a lot of C programming code - The only way you can learn programming is by writing a lot of code.
C is more difficult to learn than JavaScript, but it's a valuable skill to have because most programming languages are actually implemented in C. This is because C is a “machine-level” language. So learning it will teach you how a computer works and will actually make learning new languages in the future easier.
Since you're asking for websites, you can try this introduction to COM on The Code Project, and how to handle COM in plain C and in C++ on the same site. And of course, you have MSDN.

In addition to the websites recommended by 'In silico' take a look at Step by Step COM Tutorial.
Finally Understanding COM After Changing a Light Bulb is not a 'crash course', but can be considered as 'the absolute minimum that a Windows programmer should know about COM'.
