New Guy Here :)

I'll give a little background.

I'm a decent Excel/VBA programmer developer, although not for pay, but I hold my own. I'm looking for a new endeavour, so here I am. :)

I'm a total new guy to C++...I'm talking, I wouldn't know the first character to start to write a code/program. I downloaded CodeBlocks, but even when I open that, I find myself with that deer-in-the-headlights look. I don't know where to start. I don't know how to test/run the code I (hope to someday) write.

Anyhow, there really isn't a specific question here, but if anyone has any particular articles/reading material/tips for a completely untrained beginner, I'd love to be enlightened. :)
There's tons of tutorials out there. This site has a pretty good series that can get through the basics pretty well.
