C++ is C++. Converting between different compilers and IDEs should not be a problem if you are staying on the same platform.

There is a beta version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition that I highly recommend. It also is a free download, and should be perfectly compatible with the code in your tutorials (as should skittleo's links).

Eh, it's not that bad. All things new seem complex and confusing when you are not used to them.

What problems did you have with VC++ 2005 Beta? Did you properly setup the platform SDK?

VC2005 is one of the most intuitive and user-friendly IDEs out there -- more so than VC6.0, certainly. I recommend you read Microsoft's documentation for it -- they have excellent tutorials on building simple projects and such at the MSDN website.

I put a link in the last post, but so you have it again, here it is.

Setting up the Platform SDK with Visual C++ 2005 Beta

In response to your second question:

Err, did you try using the IDE first? You could use the command line to build from the console, but I don't recommend it unless you are trying to write build scripts or something along those lines.
