You might want to invest in a text, there are several threads that discuss the best ones. Please, if you get a book, do yourself a big favor and make sure it is a recent (last couple of years) edition, as there have been some changes in the language. Also, one other link that I recommend you (and all those new to using language forums to learn a language - a good idea when done right!) take the time to check out....t'll give you a good perspective on the community and how it works and how it can work for you.
One more piece of the perspective puzzle. Dev-C++ is a GUI that runs a compiler called g++, which is part of gcc. g++ is the open source king of C++ compilers. It is early to give you this link, but as you grow, you might find it useful:
I'm new to C++ and I was wondering if anyone could give me the basics on programming. Any help would be appreciated.

Here is a decent list of tutorials and texts (on a lot of languages - you can go down to C++ in it)

Welcome! Take your time in learning C++. Have fun!
