Hello, I am trying to learn some C++ programming using this site: http://newdata.box.sk/bx/c/htm/ch01.htm#Heading19. In that site, it says to compile the first program, but isn't very specific on how to do so. I am using Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition but can't figure out how to compile the first program it has me make, hello.cpp. Can someone please help me on how I can compile it? Am I using the right program for this? Is there a better C++ compiler for free that I should use? Please help and thanks in advance.

You know, I never got the whole Teach Yourself X in Y days. Also, the code from that book will probably throw depreciated warnings. But on to the task at hand. Watch the tutorial video from Microsoft. You'll want to skip to about the 9 minute mark.

I don't really like the teach self X in Y days either, I just need some experience with C++ so that I can qualify for doing different things. Thank you very much for this information (video), it helped a lot.
