Im use to drawing the program then writing the code in VB.
I was wondering:
How I would go about using what Ive taught myself in VB and duplicating it in to C++
and
If I have to write the code before drawing the program or if there is a way of reversing.
I have read though the hello world tutorial, partly understand and have attempted to write notes so I can start my foundation degree with some sort of knowledge but .... I have felt that isnt not enough.
I have C++ 9 and visual basic 6.
Does anyone think that Im taking on a bit too much?
That going from vb to c++ is a big gap to jump?
Thanks for reading and any and all information is appreciated

Don't worry so much about comparing VB and C++. Just dive right in and you'll get the hang of things soon enough. Your VB knowledge will help you understand the new way of programming.
I don't know what you mean by "drawing the program". Are you talking about the GUI? (If so, always design the GUI before writing code.)
It is a leap, but not so huge you can't do it with a little work. You'll do fine.
The tutorials on this site are very good. It is worth your while to read through them. Even if you don't understand it all at first it will give you a good starting foundation.
Good luck!

To add to what Duoas has written, what you know from VB will help with many of the basics in learning C++.
The concepts of variables which have a certain type, control structures such as if, for, functions (subroutines) etc.
C++ can be very intimidating - there are a lot of complex areas, but if you work through the tutorial on the site you should be able to get much of the basics without too much trouble, and can then start to dabble in the harder parts.
And if you get stuck, just post a question on the forums and someone will try and help.
