But it is a little difficult to learn -- I'd suggest you start with Dev-C++ until you get your feet wet. There are several other free compilers too.

If you are interested in books then read one of the Read Me threads at the top of this board. It contains a lot of suggestions.

Visual studio is just a tool you could use to program C++. It won't learn you C++.

I think taking class is the best way to go.
Reading a GOOD book is the second option.
And you can always look for online tutorials, but the other 2 option would be better IMO.

[edit] To slow, sorry for the double post..

another alternative which I personally feels is better than Dev-C++ is CodeBlocks. Dev-C++ IDE has not been updated for too long.
