Software piracy is banned on these forums!
If you had spend ~100$ for a legal copy you would have received the complete documentation.

Hi matdabomb.

C++ is a very complicated language to start off with. Visual Studio is quite different to RHIDE as well.

I'd recommend probably trying out Dev-C++. It is a free IDE with compiler included, so you can create a project and bash out "hello world", etc quite easily. Make sure you download the full version with the MinGW compiler (about 13.5MB).

Dev-C++ can be fount at http://www.bloodshed.net/

Did the book come with a CD? If so, did it come with an IDE and compiler on it to try out?
