visual C++ tutorials?

    I would recommend reading one of the books mentioned at http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=107484&SiteID=1

    Then you can start applying the samples there using the VC Express edition that is designed for learners.

    The problem with buying one of these books is that im only 14 so it'll be pretty hard to get them. Thanks for trying to help though. Its much appreciated =)

    Are you already somewhat familiar with C++
    Personally, I wasn't familiar with either when I started using visual C++ several years ago. I did use microsoft tutorials sometimes, but I found that some of the books were much easier to learn from. You might check your public library to see if the have some books on the topic. Also, many libraries will get books for you from other libraries if they don't have them on their own shelves. Ask the librarian about interlibrary loans.
    Here is a link to a number of free online books about C++, some of which are C++ specific:

    I hope this helps.

    Visual C++ which aspect of it, the use of the IDE, general C++ programming, use of the crt, windows libraries, MFC, ATL. There are quite a few areas which you can cover with VC.

    also, much of the basic material for older versions of c++ still applies. You might be able to find books about the older versions cheaply, in order to learn the basics.
