Hello,

first day of learning C++, and i am so curious as to what these things are in Visual Studio C++ 2008 which is the compiler i am going to use. I have attached the pic that has my questions, i am sorry to say you will get these kinds of questions from me because i want to understand what i am doing and how it all works. Thank you

FYI i am using this tutorial which i found interesting:

Cprogramming.com Tutorial: Introduction to C++

but is there a nice tutorial for visual C++? or a book that anyone recommends to take me from novice to pro?

The item circled is a library that is specific to VSC++. It is not part of standard C++.

A typical C++ program uses several source files. .h files are headers, .cpp files are code. You can also have resource files.

The '#include <stdafx.h>' precompiled header appeared because when you created your project you didn't ensure that you were creating an empty project.

Precompiled headers just ensure that an environment is created for you to develop your work. Unless you know how to use it you don't need it.
