I have been learning c++ with Dev-cpp for some time and I recently attempted using Visual C++ (Express Edition). Visual C++ seems far more complicated. In Dev-cpp all I had to do to compile a source file was click 'compile' in the toolbar and it neatly placed a .exe file where I told it to.
However, using VC++ I have run into a bunch of terms like, 'build', 'link', 'projectsheet', 'release build' etc etc. And really I can barely get a HelloWorld app to run.
Can anybody point me to some helpful websites written for VC noobies?
