Okay, I have experience in other programming languages, and I am currently trying to learn C++. I recently got VC++ 6 and am trying to use this compiler for my learning. However, the book from which I am learning from "C++ from the ground up:Second Edition" does not have examples specific to the VC environment. I can not get any of examples to work, I think it has something to do with the headers. Are they different for VC++? VC has me totally baffled, and if anyone could give me a web site with examples/tutorials, or perhaps could just answer this question in a post, please do so.

I believe C++ from the ground up is a non windows specific book. If this is the case the only way you''ll be able to compile the programs is to create a "Windows Console Application" project and then import the files into the project. Once this is done you should be able to compile them with out any issues.

Try www.informit.com to see if they''ve got any books free specifically for VC++. It might say something in there. Check the compiler options, to see whether it''s looking in the right places for your library files and header files. Other than that, i''m a newbie to programming altogether, so I''m not really an expert - that was all just something i''ve read
