C++ N00B seeks guidance

[ducky]

Hi all,

The only programming experience i have under my belt so far is VB. I'm
just starting out on C++ and wonder if anybody suggests and good (free)
starting points for me to get going. I'm wondering about tutorials,
source code, etc... Stuff that will take me from absolute square 1.

Also, which compilers would be suggested? i have the bloodshed one and
microsoft's visual studio express version as well. Are there any
others that are worth using? User friendly (as far as programming
goes)? Any info to get me pointed in the right direction would be
appreciated. Thanks!

The FAQ for this newsgroup is a good place to explore:

Yes, visual studio is pretty good and for linux/unix of course the gnu g++
compiler.
