Where's Visual C++ 2011?
I heard about it on here before but when I google for it, Can somebody give me the link if they can find it. Now that I'm on break from school I'm trying to personally improve my C++ skills/knowledge and I'm wondering if certain things that being experimental about exist in a later version of C++. (What I mean is trying to write differently than the way they're written in the book)
It only goes up to 2010

Perhaps you're thinking of C++ 11, which is a programming language and as such there is no "link" for it. C++11 is not software. It's a document.
If you're looking a for a compiler which supports it, there are some useful links here:

Visual C++ 2011 was a beta version of Microsoft's compiler/IDE for C++ which is now available from microsoft.com as Visual Studio 2012 Release Candidate.
But it's a compiler/IDE, not a "later version of C++". The later version of C++ is informally called "C++11", as Moschops already pointed out. Its formal name is just "C++".
Being modern compilers, Visual Studio 2011 Beta and Visual Studio 2012 RC support a lot of C++11 features and even a bit of the future C++TR2.

It looks like it's been removed.
I installed it some time ago from Microsoft's site, but all references to it have been removed and now there's all this stuff about VS 2012. Maybe you could try that, as it would have the improved compiler.

oh ok thanks. I think I'll wait til VS 2012 is officially released (non-beta form) because from this http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/11/en-us/downloads#express point I don't know whether or not Express for is really the one I'd want. I don't run windows 8 and I don't run a server so I know I wouldn't download the other two either, but why does that particular one say Express for web? What does the "for web" part mean?

I believe it's for HTML, CSS, PHP, etc. You want MSVCE, also known as Microsoft Visual C++ Express.
