First you should get an IDE.

E.g.
Code::Blocks:
http://www.codeblocks.org/
Note that you might need to install MinGw (which actually is the compiler)

Visual C++ Express:

With C++ you can any kind of program you want.
It's not that suitable for Web applications.

There're loads of libraries out there like boost:
http://www.boost.org/

or GUI:
