I have C++ Express and quite a while ago I programmed in Borland's Tubo C. I graduated to C++ with MS at some point, but I haven't done much in the past 10 years.
I am overwhelmed with getting started, or getting restarted. I would like some sample programs that I can examine, modify and extend to help me learn all the new nuances. What would be a good plan of attack (I have looked at the books at Barnes and Noble, but they seem to be for Dummies, tied very tightly to a C++ implementation, or big printouts of features and syntax).
Thanks for any advice.
Gordon.

I am not really sure what you are looking for.
VC 2005 Express is an install of the recent VC tools for starters. The major difference between the express sku and others are some features that are not present for the Express ones. For a full details of which features are included in what skus, please see http://lab.msdn.microsoft.com/vs2005/productinfo/productline/default.aspx.
Also, you can find the newer documentations (for VC2005) at http://msdn2.microsoft.com.
There are no documentation for the Express sku features specifically. Basically, see what feature you want to use and read about it. If you are then stuck with specific issues, please post such issues on the forums.
Additionaly, you can try the wizards on your install and take a look at the code they generate as a start for you.

I appreciate your reponse, but in trying to follow it I immediately became frustrated in the same fashion as before. I go to the location, but find nothing that seems to apply to C++ Express. In looking for it, I go do several levels of selections, then try to back up and the browser can't do it. So, I come back here and reply to your message.
Help, again please!
Gordon.

Ayman,
Here is an example of my confusion.
First I go to http://whidbey.msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dv_vcmcpp/html/53215133-140c-49a6-893f-b0f179ffb88f.asp. Then I follow the instructions successfully until I try to add a class, then I get the message: “Code Model is not available, cannot add class.” So I am at a dead end here.
Next, I try where you sent me, at least I think it is the right place http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/getstart/default.aspx pull=/library/en-us/dnaa/html/getstart_vcpp.asp . Here I I don’t see the same screens, but I fumble my with thru and get “hello…” to run. I also get the next step to run, but I never get the “Press any key to continue” message, so I am again at a dead end.
Thanks again,
Gordon.
