Use code blocks IDE (which comes with mingw suite)

The tutorial in this site is great but you may also try some other books like C++ Primer (veeeery loong book)

I belive that's the one i have but will i need to update it since it's about 3 years old and how would i do that ?

Which one, the tutorial on this site or C++ Primer ?

The tutorial in this site is updated recently and introduces some C++11 features.

[bobmandudeness]

No i meant the compiler is that frequently updated or does it not matter that i downloaded min 3 years ago ?

[nvrmnd]

It does matter, download the latest release of codeblocks or mingw and you will get GCC 4.8.1

You can view what version of GCC are you using by :

gcc --version

or

g++ --version

to see the differences
