If you want to learn the language, go console. Its hard enough without non-standard
add ons.

However, if you want to make windows apps in the near future, go ahead and
follow the examples, you will be able to do "enough" to learn and write some
fairly nice programs...

Hi Aaron,

As Visual C++ is just Micro$oft's extension to the C++ language, I would
say that it is crucial to have a full comprehension of C++ (as you would
say 'in console') before moving onto Visual C++. Another reason is that many
articles on Visual C++ have a prerequisit that the reader pertain that knowledge
already.

If I have made any form of mistake in my article, please say otherwise.

Hope that helped.

Craig.
