I'm new on C++
Hi everyone! I'm new here, and I wanna learn how to program using C++. I'm trying to get to where you can type your programs to run.
You will find many posts here on the forum on how to learn C++, books to read and lots of things. Just do a search.
To give you a direction, you will need an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) where you can do coding and compile your programs and run them. If you are working on windows, download Visual Studio express and install it. Try some R&D otherwise come back and we will tell how to compile programs in VS.

I'm new to coding too. I read the Basics of C++ tutorial (just the first section) on this website and have so far written two programs.
One which tells you the weekday from the date you type in and another which scores up to 4 players in a game of darts... any "oh one" game.

I'm gonna continue the tutorial and then try to make a GUI for the programs i've made.
I use DevC++ to compile the programs but want to use MS Visual Studio C++ Express 2010. When I paste my code into MSVS it won't compile. Dunno why... that's my current obstacle.
I found it surprisingly easy so far.

@ zues: I'm glad you have had so much luck with the tutorial here, but I'm sorry to say it doesn't cover GUI development. Also that IDE you linked to is pretty much worthless at this point, it's out of date and out of development.
I read it is out of development earlier today whilst googling on my phone at work. Hence trying out MS VS Express. I don't want to hijack someone elses thread! but I ain't having any luck with it so far! I might have to try "Hello World" again!
This will help settle that learning curve: http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/
This one is still in development, free and has all of the extra toys you could want.
