My suggestion: Buy a book. I suggest "Teach Yourself C++ in 21 days" by
Jesse Liberty, Sams Publishing, Third Edition or later.

  Hello people!
  I am Dr. Jones, from Brazil.
  I have programmed for +/- 1 year in QB4.5, one more year in VB5, and since
some time ago I try to begin programming in C/C++, Assembly or Pascal. I
think Assembly will have to wait until I got to learn one of the other two,
so C/C++ and Pascal remain.
  I have tried some Pascal compilers (like Turbo Pascal and Free Pascal),
but I have never got the compilers even to run a single "Hello, world!"
program. As for the C/C++ compilers, I have been more lucky. I have tried
Turbo C, Miracle C, Quincy (a nice C INTERPRETER, not a compiler), and the
great DJGPP, with RHIDE. I have got all them to work, and all these are very
good. (Although Turbo C was some strange to use, and Miracle C seemed to be
corrupted and did not work properly). And the wonderful LCC-Win32 and V. But
Dev-Cpp is the best and easiest to use C/C++ compiler/IDE I've ever tried!
Although I think DJGPP or Watcom (I have never got this last, however) are
more "powerful", or "professional", and LCC-Win32 and V can (in my opinion)
replace even Microsoft Visual C, with its ability to create Windows GUI
programs, no one of them is easier to use than Dev-Cpp. As a new user to
C/C++, this is the best for me. And I see day by day that it is not just an
"easy" system to use, I feel more and more that I am going to use it
definitely.

  P. S.: Do you know of any tutor/sample program that can guide a VB
programmer into the great world of C/C++?
  I know up to now just the basic commands...
